The combination of pistachios, almonds, coriander, cumin, thyme, sesame seeds, and salt creates a unique and aromatic flavor that can be used as a dip or a topping for bread, meat, or vegetables. This version of Egyptian Dukka 2 is easy to make at home and can be customized to your liking by adjusting the amount of spice or adding other ingredients like hazelnuts or fennel seeds.
