Good to know

  • Toast whole spices in a dry pan until fragrant, cool them, then grind them. The blend will taste much fresher.
  • Make a small batch first and taste it. Brands and home recipes differ, so adjust the hot and salty spices to your liking.
  • Write the date on the jar. Ground spices lose their aroma over time, so replace them when they smell faint.
  • Salt in a blend adds up. Taste the dish before you add more salt.
