Summer Sizzler Spice Seasoning

When James and I went to London in 2018, we were amazed at how beautiful and 'old' the city was.

Chicken tikka masala (590 calories per serve)

I don't cook much Indian food. When my middle brother used to live with me, he used to cook Indian curries all the time. I would smell all the spices in our little apartment for days after he cooked.
