Notes
- Smoked paprika is what gives this blend its signature smoky flavor and helps recreate some of the depth traditionally achieved in a tandoor oven.
- Kashmiri chili powder adds color and mild warmth without making the blend overly spicy.
- This seasoning blend is intentionally salt-inclusive, making it easy to use straight from the jar without needing to remember extra salt later.
- Makes approximately 3 3/4 cups seasoning blend, enough for around 20 batches when using 3 tablespoons per batch.
Storage
- Store the seasoning blend in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight.
- For best flavor, use within 6 months.
- Give the container a quick shake before each use to redistribute the spices.
