Template:Arab cuisine Hawaij (Template:Langx[1] Script error: No such module "IPA"., Template:Langx), also spelled hawayej or hawayij, is a variety of Yemeni ground spice mixtures used primarily for soups and Yemeni coffee.

The basic mixture for soup is also used in stews, curry-style dishes, rice and vegetable dishes, and even as a barbecue rub. It is made from cumin, black pepper, turmeric and cardamom. More elaborate versions may include ground cloves, caraway, nutmeg, saffron, coriander, fenugreek and ground dried onions.[2] The Adeni version is made of cumin, black pepper, cardamom and coriander.[3]

The mixture for coffee is made from aniseeds, fennel seeds, ginger and cardamom. Although it is primarily used in brewing coffee, it is also used in desserts, cakes and slow-cooked meat dishes.[2] In Aden, the mixture is made with ginger, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon for black coffee, and when used for tea excludes the ginger.[3]

In Israel, hawaij is used extensively by Yemenite Jews and its use has spread more widely into Israeli cuisine as a result.[3]
