Tikka Masala Spice Mix

Yay so excited to hear, Kim, enjoy the newfound staple 😃

Hi Dee, the ingredients for this recipe are listed in tablespoons (Tbsp) and teaspoons (tsp), which is a measuring system using spoons. Alternatively, you can use the listed gram amounts. The entire recipe makes about 7 tablespoons if you don't adjust the serving size. Do let us know if there's anything else we can help with 😊

Hey David, so glad to hear your son loves the mix! To make a Tikka Masala paste, you could blend the spices with plant-based yogurt and a bit of oil. This will dilute the flavours though. Let us know how it goes if you experiment with it. We also have recipes for Quick Tofu Tikka Masala and Tikka Masala Cauliflower Pitas where we've used the spice mix 🙂

So happy to hear, Daine, thank you! 😊

Aw we're so happy to hear, Honey, thank you! We've noted down the request for a Garam Masala Spice Mix recipe 😎

A lovely compliment, Marnie, thank you so much! We're so honoured you're gifting the spice mix 🥰

So thrilled to hear, Martunia! Homemade spice blends are one of our favourites 🤩

Hey Natasha, aw thanks for the kind words and for helping make our PUL community so special 💛

A lovely question, Scott! We use a generic chili powder from our local grocery store in the Netherlands which doesn't specify anything else. If you're in North America, it's likely the chili powder is more mild, so you can stand to use more. If you're in the EU, perhaps add less to start and add more to taste when cooking to help avoid too much spice 😃

Hello there! I’m an American living in the Netherlands, and I thought I could clear up this question :) there is definitely a difference between the American version of “chili powder” and the one specified here. The American version is a spice mix used often in Tex Mex dishes and American style chili. The one available in the Netherlands is a pure, single-ingredient chili powder (not a mix), so for Americans this would be more like cayenne pepper powder!

Hey Colleen, we use a generic chili powder from our local grocery store in the Netherlands, it doesn't specify anything else. If you're in North America, it's likely the chili powder is more mild, so you can use more if you enjoy an extra kick. You could also opt to add it during cooking to taste if needed 🙂

Hey Wendy, we enjoy just over 2 tablespoons of the spice mix in our Quick Tofu Tikka Masala recipe for four servings: pickuplimes.com/recipe/quick-… 🙂

Hey, Anna, you can omit them if needed. In case it helps, we've had better luck finding dried fenugreek leaves in the international aisle or in ethnic grocery stores. An alternative dried leaf such as celery also provides a similar savoury and nutty flavour 🤗

Anna, you can also find dried fenugreek leaves on Amazon.com. They have quite a variety--big bags, small jars, etc.

Thank you, Ines 😃

It means so much, Dimi - thank you!

So glad it's being enjoyed, Amelia 😃

Thank you, John, happy cooking!
