It's not spot on but is the closest thing and you can play around with the amounts.I find this recipe changes in each part of Barbados from house to house,so this is good. Thank you.

I expect this tastes ok but it is definitely doesn't look like the seasoning that Bajan people make at home. Excessive blitzing in a food processor ruins the texture.
