I've made this several times and used in many different recipes. I use it in the same quantity as is called for in the recipe. Thansk for posting.

Like the fact is salt free, But this was not the recipe for me, Used 3 Tablespoons of chilli powder (EXTRA HOT) instead of six, This IS a good combination of a mix, When I make tacos, add 3/4 cup water x 2, Add two teapsoons of this mixture too! With 500g mince, 2 cans 400g chopped tomatoes including juice, Then I let the whole thing reduce, Add 40 g tomato paste, Let it simmer for 20 minutes THEN I taste, Like last review, I added salt too, Also a pinch of Splenda as it had an acidic taste too! Coriander is my herb of choice for tacos too, It wasn't bad, but not sure would make again, TRUE! Sorry :) Thanks!

This had nice flavor but no indication of how much to use. I ended up using 3 teaspoons with a half pound of hamburger. To bring out the flavors a bit more, I added about 1/4 teaspoon salt, but that was mainly because I wasn't sure how much seasoning to use. I also ended up adding 1 teaspoon corn starch to 1/3 cup water to have a bit of sauce to simmer in. The moisture did simmer completely off.
