Blend scaler

Pick a blend, pick whose version you want, and set a batch size. Proportions are by weight, because measuring a blend by spoon gives a different mix — the spices differ in density.

What you asked

Blend:

Version:
Southern and Gulf-influenced — Southern Iranian composition, closer to a Gulf baharat
Target batch:
50 g

How it was worked out

Each ingredient's parts are divided by the total parts to give its share of the mix, and that share is multiplied by the target batch weight. Scaling is linear, so the same shares apply at any batch size.

  1. 1. Add up the parts

    Cumin 3 + Black pepper 2 + Cinnamon (Ceylon) 2 + Turmeric 1 + Ground dried lime 0.5–1 + Ground rose petals 0.5–1

    = 9.5 parts

    Ingredients given as a range use the typical value, or the midpoint where no typical value is recorded.

  2. 2. Work out the weight of one part

    50 g ÷ 9.5 parts

    = 5.26 g per part

  3. 3. Multiply each ingredient by its parts

    = 6 ingredients scaled

What this assumes

  • Proportions are by weight, not by volume. Measuring these by spoon would give a different mix, because the spices differ in density.
  • Proportions come from the "Southern and Gulf-influenced" version, attributed to Southern Iranian composition, closer to a Gulf baharat.
  • Those proportions are recorded as reconstructed.

Where this stops being reliable

  • Some proportions are recorded as ranges. The scaled weights use the typical value and should be treated as a starting point.
  • These proportions are reconstructed from ingredient declarations rather than a published formulation, and are recorded at low confidence.
  • This is one of 3 versions recorded for Advieh. It is not the definitive one — there isn't one.
