Last week I was in Manor (one of our local department stores which has a really nice food section) and I saw a new style spice rack sporting all sorts of goodies, one of which was named barbecue masala and it claimed to be pretty spicy. The ingredients of this barbecue masala consisted of chillies, mustard seeds, fenugreek, cumin, black pepper, mango powder, asafoetida, sesame seeds and salt. I couldn’t resist giving it a try so I bought it and it has lain dormant in my kitchen cupboard ever since.
Check back tomorrow to see what I concocted using this barbecue masala.

Yes, Manor has a great food section and their spices (made in India) are good!
Let’s see what you will have concocted…

Hi Pamela -
Congrats on your pregnancy! I just read the post. I look forward to reading your back archives and hopefully one day meeting up with all of the Swiss bloggers. I have just held my first foodie themed dinner this past weekend and hope they become regular installments. If/when you feel up to some travel and good food feel free to let me know. We’ll squish another chair into my ‘cozy’ kitchen
cheers

Thanks Rai!!
Thank you for the invitation it sounds wonderful, I have read the write-up of your dinner party and it looks like a great night was had by all! I would definately love to attend one of your nights.
If I may ask where in Switzerland do you live? I saw that Mark from Zurich travelled 3 hours to get to yours.
