A friend texted saying give this mixed powder a try,he got it from his tandori chef friend,i tried it last night and it is pretty good i have to say,if you are going to have ago at it you will need a spice grinder
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1/2 tsp coriander seeds
1/4 tsp sesame seeds

add to a grinder until the seeds are a powder,before i cooked with it i thought it smelled and tasted better than the one i have been using,it made a better curry as well
