Our expanding range of vegetarian and vegan BBQ spice blends ventures into Bangladesh for this warmly spiced dish.

Full cooking instructions (for the BBQ or for the kitchen) for Smoke and Flame’s Charred Hispi Cabbage can be found here.

Our charred hispi cabbage spice blend is a carefully crafted combination that brings the full-bodied aroma of garlic and the deep, smoky undertones of paprika to the forefront. When these spices, with the heat of the chilli blend, are rubbed onto the cabbage and grilled, they create a beautifully charred exterior with a succulent, flavourful core.

In this blend, the shared compound limonene stands out, particularly found in the zest of the lime. This aromatic terpene is known for its fresh, citrusy fragrance - it complements the paprika and garlic, adding a light, refreshing lift that contrasts the richness of the other spices.

Try it with "Confused Indian Potatoes" or many of the other side dishes in our Free “Easy BBQ Side Dishes” e-book.

This spice blend excels when used with a variety of vegetables, especially when grilling or roasting to enhance their natural sweetness. It's particularly sublime on grilled hispi cabbage, where the spices form a delightful crust that's rich in flavour. Additionally, when applied to seafood, it can create a tantalising, crisp skin that's bursting with aroma. This dry rub is an essential element in crafting dishes with balanced, robust flavours.

To serve, drizzle some agave nectar or golden syrup for a sweet counter to the heat of this blend.
