I recently discovered this spice mix from Herbies called “32 Degrees“. Subtitled “just hot enough” I was intrigued enough to order some and was blown away! Not by the heat, I must add but the amazing blend of aromatics along with (they’re correct!) JUST ENOUGH chilli to make it interesting. In case you’re interested, the blend contains paprika, chilli, sea salt, amchur, ginger, pasilla chilli, lemon myrtle, turmeric, kaffir lime leaves and strawberry gum!
I set about making something to employ it and came up with this. We really enjoyed it, hope you buy some too and give it a try.
