Moroccan Spice Mixture

La Kama spices are similar to the more famous ras el hanout (which literally means means “top of the shop”) in that its formula varies from cook to cook. Some ras el hanout mixtures contain as many as fifty different spices, others just ten or twelve. A good La Kama mixture may be made with just five, as shown here. Y
