If and when you go back to Bali ( I know you guys go very often ), buy the spice mix that you were talking about. Its good.
But, what's even better is Balinese "garam masala". Garam masala is a mix of exotic spices used for flavouring dishes. The spices used are usually cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, mace and black pepper.
