Hawaij is the name of the Yemeni spice mix which is used in a lot of popular dishes. It is especially essential to meat dishes of any kind and broths. You can buy it in the market in Yemen and you might find it in Arab markets in international cities. One advantage to making it fresh is that it is so much more potent. You can also change the ratio of the spices a little if you prefer.

1/3 cup coriander seed
1/3 cup cumin seed
1/4 cup black peppercorns
