Kadr is a traditional Turkish spice blend, rather than a single spice. Its recipe may vary between makers, so products sold under this name can differ in ingredients, aroma, and intensity.
There is no single fixed ingredient list for Kadr that applies to every blend. The recipe can vary by maker, so check the ingredients on the specific product instead of assuming it contains a particular set of spices.
Add Kadr a little at a time to season a dish, tasting as you go. You can mix it into a sauce or stew while cooking, or use it to season ingredients before roasting or grilling.
Kadr’s exact flavor depends on the blend, because the name does not guarantee one universal recipe. The product’s ingredients give the clearest indication of its flavor; start with a small amount before using it generously.
There is no guaranteed one-to-one substitute for Kadr because its recipe can vary. Choose spices that suit the dish you are making, combine them in small amounts, and adjust after tasting rather than replacing it with a fixed blend automatically.
No. Kadr is a Turkish spice blend, while curry powder is a different blend with its own range of recipes. Their flavors are not interchangeable by default, so using curry powder instead of Kadr will change the dish.
Yes, Kadr can season vegetables as well as meat and legumes. Toss a small amount with vegetables before roasting, or stir it into a cooked vegetable dish; taste first because the strength and flavor of the blend can vary.
Yes, Kadr can be stirred into yogurt to make a dip or marinade. Start with a little, let the mixture sit briefly for the flavor to spread, and taste it before adding salt or other seasonings.
For most cooked dishes, add Kadr during cooking so its aroma can spread through the food. For a marinade or yogurt dip, mix it in beforehand; use a modest amount first because blends sold as Kadr may differ in strength.
Keep Kadr in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place to protect its aroma. Store it away from sunlight, steam, and the stove, and avoid putting a damp spoon into the blend.

Kadr (1 tablespoon) is a traditional Turkish spice blend used to season food. The exact spices can vary by recipe, and no ingredient list is provided here, so it is best not to assume a fixed formula.
Its aroma and flavour depend on the blend. In Turkish-style home cooking, it can be added to soups, beans and lentils, vegetables, rice dishes or meat while cooking, then adjusted to taste. It is used as a seasoning rather than eaten on its own. Start with a pinch, since a little can go a long way; a medium tablespoon is about 8 g. It contains fibre by weight, though its main role in a meal is to add flavour.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
