1 tsp Ground Coriander
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Dried Rosemary (crushed)
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg

Notes

For best results, use about 1 to 1½ tablespoons per 500g of lamb, whether you’re grilling, roasting, or pan-searing.
For adjustments, increase chili flakes for more heat, add a touch more cinnamon for warmth, or slightly reduce sugar for a more savory finish.
