Homemade suya spice mix
Here is a secret, the main secret why the suya spice made by your Mae- suya will always be better than your store bought mix or homemade mix……. Kuli Kuli powder, yes you heard me, no Mae-Suya makes suya spice with fresh peanut blend, there is way too much oil in fresh groundnut so kuli kuli (processed groundnut blend ) is preferred.
Ingredients
½ cup grounded Kuli Kuli (Substitute blended roasted groundnut )
½ cup Ginger Powder
¼ cup each ( chilli powder, paprika powder, Onion powder and Garlic Powder)
1 table spoon sea salt
Direction
Combine all of the ingredients thoroughly.
Would you believe I was going to request this from you? 2013 is definitely off to a good start. *does a happy dance*
Thanks a lot for this.
P.S. I love the new layout, especially the slider. It gets better doesn’t it?
whoop!!
I honestly never tasted the nuts in suya, now its all I’m ever gon taste
Trust me you will not taste it…. all the other spices are more overpowering.
Oooo… love the new site look
whoop!! thank you!
Kuli Kuli instead of roasted groundnut makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
you are welcome ma
Thanks for sharing. I just get yaji mix sent from some ladies at my church who make them.
Many Yaji variations also have Cloves added to the mix. I forget the Hausa name but definitely cloves.
lucky you! I have to try it with cloves.
Comment…I love everthing about d site pls keep it up.
How many sticks of suya will this mixture be for?
We bought this tasteless suya spice mix. Like very tasteless but I’d “remix” it with this recipe and let you know how it goes.
Meanwhile if I use fresh groundnuts for this mix, do I have to put it in the fridge to preserve it?
I will advice that you roast the peanut until really dry before you use it, also pound it instead of using a food processor. You shouldn’t have to keep it in the fridge if the peanut is dry after processing.
Had no idea suya powder contained Kuli kuli o.
Yes yes yes …. that is the delicious secret
I came from d old blog.. the new look is amazing **
Thank you!
I know its always best to mix your own spices, but i was in the store (USA) and saw SUYA KHEBAB AND BARBECUE POWDER produced in ACCRA GHANA, I bought it and googled it for recipes on how to use it,I also saw sites that said that imported SUYA powder may be tainted by terrorists, I’m returning it to the store, have you heard anything about this, is there any concern, does imported foods and spices get the clear from the FDA , how does that work.
Tainted by Terrorists? that sounds absurd to me. Most countries have several regulations surrounding imported consumer products but I do not think there is ever enough capacity to test every single product.
Ok I’m not naija, but love to make your recipes…
What is kuli kuli – I am going to make this suya mix tomorrow!
PS. Love the new site… all my Tanzanian (yes I am tanzanian) friends use your recipes ..
Whoop!! we are glad you love the recipes…… Kuli kuli is processed peanut. you can find more details here :http://www.9jafoodie.com/2012/12/kuli-kuli/
You didn’t add the African Negro pepper known as Uda in Igbo, Chimba in Hausa and Eeru in Yoruba in the list of ingredients tho its in your picture.
