Notes

You can use a food processor to combine these ingredients but I think a mortar and pestle gives better results. The bruising and abrasion action allows the different flavors to develop a more intimate relationship.
Once your seasoning is done its ready to use. However, I do recommend leaving it for a few hours or overnight to cousoumeh.
You can tweak this recipe to your taste and make it your own.
