Qâlat daqqa (also spelled gâlat dagga), or Tunisian Five Spices, is a spice blend originating from Tunisia. It is made of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, peppercorns, and grains of paradise mixed and ground, depending on its use, between a coarse grind and a fine powder. This spice blend is used to as both an aromatic and seasoning for meats and vegetable dishes. The flavor of the mixture is described as being "sweet and warm".

Uses

Qâlat daqqa is utilized in several manners:

1. In meats it is used as either a dry rub or as an ingredient to marinades. It is noted for use in lamb tajines.
