Zaal mix and GM is worth a look. Personally I keep them seperate. I also don't add chilli or paprika to my mix, prefering to add when cooking.

Hi Les did you change your mix powder? Any thoughts on what you are now using?

I too have been using Abduls for quite a while now, and would also like to try a different mix, any feedback would be most appreciated

don't do wimpy spice mix

Always thought Wimpys made burgers

Seriously though why use mix powder >when you can use spices as required
Who started this addiction to mix powders?
When watching a Bir chef its a bit of this then that sorted

Oh yes, I remember them well. ;)

And no I don't use spice mix's anymore. just the normal suspects, cumin, coriander, etc with some fennel or star anise added, Just because I like the flavour :D

Apologies Madrasandy
didn't see your post until just now, like I just said, I don't use spice mix anymore, may not be true BIR, but it suits me and mine :D
