Experimenting with different flavors and spices is exciting and challenging. I picked up this Shami Kabab mix (brand is: Shan) at an Indian grocery store and I love it! It is spicy and strong and a little goes a long way. I used one whole packet for 10 pieces of chicken and that is the perfect amount for the perfect amount of flavor and spice.
