    This may very well be my answer...I veered off the keto not wanting to but happened, and ended up eating more the 'carnivore diet' (which looks unappetizing when it's written down!) And need direction to get back on keto with a low carb directory - guidance to get on a healthy track... Yes to the free month, then how much?

    I was disappointed to find the tandoori seasoning is pre-packaged version, the link directing you to Amazon of all places! I have always been impressed by the fact DD seemed to make it's own seasonings and provide the recipes. I live in the UK and am therefore not going to order a seasoning from the US. Is there any chance you can create and post a recipe please??

    I felt the same about store bought tandoori spices. Is there a recipe you could publish for us? I prefer to make my own from DD website where possible :)
