Sooo glad I chose this recipe to make. It is simply fabulous. I used all the spices and for some I had to grind them myself but totally worth it. Because it does not contain any salt, you can salt whatever you are cooking with later. To gauge the taste after cooking, I chose thinly sliced rib eye that I sliced. Sprinkled the powder along with a bit of salt and pan fried with sliced onion for about 3-4 minutes only. Served with key lime zest sprinkled on the steaks and a bit of lime juice before eating. Heavenly!
