Pods,
I've been experimenting with a spice mix that mimics Kettle's Thai potato chips flavor for other personal purposes--eg. oven roasted potatoes and carrots, etc. I'm coming pretty close.
I start with a large dose of of Jamaican Choice "XXX Hell Hot XXX Reggae Seasoning {ingredients: scotch bonnet powder, thyme, ground celery seed, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt). To this. I add cayenne and ginger powder.
Wow, some great roasted veggies tonight!
I don't consider myself to a great cook, just a great assembler of ingredients.
Bradley
