Recently turkish cusine has invaded our food profile greatly.since my interest in fusion of cusine & flavours has grown much I tried to raise level bar for our daily side dish of Raita infusing with mediteranean spices of sumac & za'atar or zaatar.its a spice blend that can ve used in a multitude of ways & are extremely popular throughout the mediteranean region of middle east.
