So glad you enjoyed it! Love the idea of adding whole chillies, heat makes everything better! 🌶️
Hello please do you know if this is a medium spice?
Hi if I want to cook with 1 kg lamb please can you let me know how much ingredients to use is it just double these ones ?
Yep, you can pretty much double everything for 1kg lamb — just keep an eye on the salt and chilli, and tweak those to your taste. Hope it turns out great! 😊
Do I quadruple all ingredients for 2kg of lamb
Hey! When scaling a recipe, it’s important to adjust ingredients proportionally based on the amount of meat you’re using. For 2kg of lamb, you don’t necessarily need to quadruple all ingredients. It’s best to adjust the seasoning to your taste.
I’d recommend starting by doubling the onion, and tomatoes. For the spices, you can start with 1 tbsp and adjust as needed. Add salt gradually and taste as you go to ensure it’s seasoned to your liking. Hope this helps 🙂
