How to make Cajun spice at home!




I love my Cajun seasoning. Use almost on everything. It is basically salt with a variety of spices.

Use this Cajun seasoning for barbecue, chicken, fish, Paneer or cottage cheese, Cajun soups or sauces, blackened steaks, and pastas.

There are many commercial Brands present in market. What I don’t love about Cajun seasoning that you buy at the store, it is expensive, some time its full of salt or some time its less salt so after buying from marker 2-3 time i have decided to make it at home.
So i checked my spice cabinet what all spice i have and almost i found all except few.

If you make this in advance n preserve this, any time you can use with lavish time or instant.
It is easy to preserve in air tight jar.

  • Sweet Paprika powder        - 1 1/2 tb spoons
  • kosher salt                           - 2 tb spoon

  • Cumin                                   - 1/2 tb spoon
  • Black pepper                         - 1 tb spoons
  • Cayenne pepper (Red chilli) - 2 tb spoons
  • Caraway seeds ( shahijeera) - 1 tb spoons

Combine all ingredients in a bowl but make sure there is no moisture in bowl. Mix it properly, store in air tight jar.
