Accepted Answer

It's a mess. Here's my missive to Rajah UK.What is going on? Have been buying the Tandoori spice mix in the red can since 1980 in the UK. I now live in the US but was always instantly transported to my back yard in the UK when inhaling that wonderful perfume scent of your spice mix. Also the deep red color was reassuring. What, and I mean ...what have you done? OK, I see you have the tin flashed with `all natural colors' which I can live with that putrid brown but where oh where is the perfumed odor of old? What we have now is some sort of weak slight bitter pong and an off brown spice grind. Instead of rich colored and rich tasting tandoori shrimp, we now have the insipid tan colored specimens you see in the attachment. The taste is weak, I wouldn't say it is unpleasant.....but what are you folks smoking over there? Yours was far and away the best tandoori spice ever. Please pass this on to your boss and ask him/her to pass it on to theirs and so on. If you know of any other spice powder that resembles your old formula, please let me know. You can use your private email so as to avoid any embarrassment.Customer since 1980, used your tandoori spice mix many,  many times.
