VERY flavourful and the recipe Lex provides with the spice mix is beyond easy with everyday ingredients. We loved it! Enjoyed it even more as leftovers...the flavours just continue to intensify and SATISFY:) Already ordered more!
We made the recipe on this site for this spice mix. The result tasted like butter masala chicken we’ve had from some restaurants! We preferred the “spicy” version but it wasn’t quite spicy enough for us so we added a little cayenne.
Next time we’re going to use this spice mix in place of the spices in one of our own recipes. It’ll save some time and I know it will be tasty tasty.
Thanks for the review, and feedback Doug. I was wondering if the SPICY had enough kick.
I'm glad you found a way to get the spicy up to your level, and I'm delighted you like the blend. If Contact me when you are done this bag, I might have an EXTRA spicy version for you to test for me if you are up for it.

Spice Storage
Spices, rubs and spice blends, should be stored in a dry, cool, dark place and used quickly to get the most flavour from them.
Ground spices typically lose their freshness and are often past their peak in 6 months.
