Spice mix

I use this spice mix on lots of things to rub into chicken to mix in a sauce for heat, to make curries, to BBQ or in chili. I usually double the quantities below and then store it.

2 tbsp Curry Powder

2 tbsp of Ground cumin

2 tbsp Ginger

2 tbsp Ground Pepper

1 tbsp All Spice

1 tbsp Cayenne Pepper

1 tspn Cinnamon
