I use a little 'accidental' mix, works a treat, bought a large spice rack in a charity auction, stuck it in the garage for a couple of years and rediscovered it, all the spices out of date, so emptied them into a large zip-seal bag; powdered Ginger, Paprika, Tandoori Masala, Chilli, Mixed Spice, Curry, Turmeric and Chinese 5 Spice, all mixed up.
Couple of tea spoons does the trick, I'll never buy prepared spicy hemp ever again, the cost is ludicrous.
All the herbs I dumped, however got the Cumin seeds, Coriander seeds, Pimento seeds, Mustard seeds, Cloves, Sesame seeds, Poppy seeds and Pepper corns, stuck them in the food processor for a minute and hey presto, a very sweet smelly oily semi-dry concoction for adding to a method mix.
The Pirate.
