Tasty Notes…

We have included salt in our recipe. But if you think this is better without salt, you are free to go ahead and exclude that ingredient.
Adjust the rest of the spices and herbs according to your preference.
You can also add extra ingredients like chili powder, bay leaves, lemon/lime peel powder, and dried thyme.

If you add paprika, try to go with a variety like smoked paprika for an extra punch of flavor and smokiness.
