Bharwan or tava spice mix from Iya spices is typically a blend of aromatic ingredients like cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and sometimes fenugreek or mustard seeds. These spices are often mixed with other ingredients like ginger, garlic, onions, and fresh herbs to create a flavorful stuffing.
The combination can vary depending on regional preferences and individual recipes.
