Herbies Spices Recipes
Crispy Kumera
Description
Tiger's Spice was originally developed for Tiger's Leagues Club in Sydney, to be used in their kitchens. The gold-and-black tiger theme was followed as closely as possible, with black sesame seeds and nigella seeds providing the black "stripes" through paprika and other spices. Hints of lime and lemon give a lovely lift to the flavours.
