Ray - yes, it is indeed your original Seekh recipe from the cr0 group tests. And you're spot on - it was the Chinese salt and pepper mix that dissuaded me from giving the updated recipe a go!
PaulP - as for which spice mix, its actually a "blend" of mixes. Part Bruce Edwards, part Ifindforu. I had containers for each in my spice cupboard and didn't have them labelled, so I just mixed them together.
