Kitchen staple
Indian Spice Mix
This homemade spice mix is one of my favourite kitchen staples, and once you have a jar of it ready to go you will wonder how you ever managed without it. It is a bold, aromatic blend designed to make curry nights quicker, easier, and far more flavour packed. Instead of measuring out lots of individual spices every time, you can simply add a spoonful of this mix and build a rich, fragrant base in seconds. It makes such a difference, especially on busy weeknights when you want proper curry flavour without the extra effort.
