Topic: Mix powder why ?

[mickdabass]

1 1/2 teaspoons Garam masala 1 teaspoon Methi 1/2 teaspoon turmeric 2 teaspoon coriander powder 1 teaspoon cumin
This is not a full recipe but an example of the spices I would use

5 tsp of powders, and then the chilli powder on top? sounds a lot to me. With a heavily spiced base I might use 1 tsp of spice mix, with a lightly spiced base I might use 2 tsp.

Do many proper Birs use mix powder? as it seems to appear more in recipes on forums and you tube etc
copy cat cooking just look at all the mix powders on this site

If you knew the first thing about BIR you wouldn't have to ask the question. Your habit of talking down to people doesn't sit well with your ignorance of the subject at hand.

How would you go about getting a Tsp of 'mix' powder using individual spices?

I have a digital spoon scale. 1 Tablespoon in size that can be set to Metric or Imperial and is accurate to 0.1 gram or thousandths of an ounce and will measure up to 300.0 g or 11.000 oz (why I don't know, since lead is rarely used in many kitchens).  It has "Tare" and "Hold" functions so as long as I knew the proportional spice ratios and individual densities, I could make a tsp of mix quite easily.  This sounds difficult but really it isn't.

Where did you get it? I want one for Christmas.

Or you could make a larger amount of mix powder and use a tsp of it?
