Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 oz flour, all purpose variety
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Chef's Note: Make sure that all your spices are nice and fresh. A fresh spice is a happy spice.
  • 2. Take all the spices, and grind them, along with the flour, using a pestle and mortar, until they are dust. Hence the name: Australian Red Desert Dust.
  • 3. Chef's Note: Or you could always use a spice blender, coffee grinder, or high-powered blender, to accomplish the same task.
  • 4. Chef's Tip: Place the ground spice into an airtight container, and use when needed. Keep out of strong light or extremes of temperature.
  • 5. Chef's Note: Here's an idea... Take some chicken thighs, (boneless/skin on) and coat in the spice dust, then place them in some hot oil and fry until crispy, finally place in a 350f (175c) oven until done, about another 10-12 minutes. Experiment, have fun, enjoy.
  • 6. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
