Try out these spice mixes – quantities are all equal but please play around with them, exploring what suits your taste, especially the hotter elements & the one’s you’re less keen on. Start off with small batches until you achieve the results the way you would like it.
I would certainly recommend investing in a good reference quide as using more spices and understanding what they can do for a recipe will be money well spent.
