It is called Muskat or Kucuk hindistan cevizi, it has nothing to do with coconut but the reason why called kucuk hindistan cevizi  it must be because of its shape which is really look like coconut but in  a very small size.  Nutmeg is not a common spice in Turkey and not used in Turkish dishes. Ground nutmeg, smells a little bit like cinnamon not exactly but it reminds me to cinnamon, its colour is much lighter then cinnamon.  I use it in walnut+ sultana cake and I also put some with other spices when I cook Biryani( spicy rise with mix nuts and chicken pieces). Misir carsisi is the best place to find this sort of things and i have no idea about anywhere else.

Cheers     Big smile

 Finding spices in other countries can be a problem. I try to learn the names for ones I need/want before going. I use herbs for their medicinal attributes as well as taste. Actually, all herbs do have some type of medicinal attribute.
