Khmeli suneli (Georgian: ხმელი სუნელი, literally "dried spice") is a traditional Georgian spice mix.[1] It typically contains ground coriander seed, celery seed, dried basil, dill, parsley, blue fenugreek (utskho suneli[2]), summer savory, bay leaf, mint and marigold.[3] There is no fixed recipe for khmeli suneli, in this respect it is similar to the Indian garam masala.[2] Ready-made mixtures vary in color from pale green to golden to umber, with the best source of khmeli suneli being Svanetia.[4]
This mixture is an ingredient of traditional Georgian dishes and sauces, such as kharcho.[5] Khmeli suneli is also used as a seasoning for meat and for stews: Goldstein mentions spicy meatballs abkhazura, cabbage with walnuts (kombostos ruleti nigvzit), aubergine salad badridzani mtsvanilit.[2]
