What is ras el hanout made of?

The spice blend contains a range of spices and each blend tends to vary. But spices that commonly feature in Ras El Hanout include paprika, cumin, allspice, ginger, coriander seeds, and turmeric.
What can I use instead of ras el hanout?
Rad el hanout is readily available in most major supermarkets and world food stores, however, if you can’t find it curry powder would work with this recipe.
Additionally, making your own spice blend of the ingredients traditionally used in ras el hanout would also work.
