Advieh
Advieh (Persian: ادویه, lit. spice; from Arabic: أدوية, pl. of دواء, lit. remedy, medicine, medication, drug) is the Persian word for spice, and may refer to any individual seasoning. However, in everyday Iranian culinary usage, advieh commonly refers to a specific blend of ground spices used to flavor traditional dishes. This usage is an abbreviated form of more specific terms such as advieh-e polo (spice mix for rice), advieh-e khoresh (for stews), or advieh-e ash (for herb-based soups).
