I didn’t have the fenugreek but I did ‘t miss a flavor. I cut it way down.

So great in red lentil dal!

I lessened the amount of chilli by 1/4 cup & used sweet paprika, I like hot but not unbearably hot

This is my all-time favorite spice blend! It tastes amazing added to almost any dish. Some of my favorite ways to use it are as a dry rub for baked chicken wings, pan fried pork chops, cottage pie, and even just sprinkled over french fries for an added kick. I keep a large jar of it on hand for whenever inspiration strikes. If your grocery store sells bulk spices, that’s the best way to make this blend without spending a ton on money, since you can just buy what you need.

This is so good. I made it yesterday and the chicken was so tasty. I will be making this again when I run out.

I did not have lime and Tomato paste, so I substituted lemon juice and Heinz Ketchup.How the flavor of the sauce developed as it thickened. This is my new signature dish. Thank you for sharing this recipe, Alan Ehmke
