Hey there, thanks!
I don’t really measure things precisely while I’m cooking… By spoons I mean soup-spoons (tablespoons). I’m a metric guy :)
For the spice mix, it’s total. In my variant, I added one tablespoon of garam masala, one of cumin, half of ground coriander, half of turmeric, about a teaspoon of paprika, indian chilli, fenugreek. I mixed this separately in a bowl, and ended up using all of it. It might be too much for some, though, so you can only add half of it, adjust later if needed.
Always happy to answer any cooking questions!
