Notes

Did a triple batch and flavour was OK but it was very difficult to mix in bowl. BBQ was hard too. I wouldn't do it again, just do double. Also forgot to put on low heat so they charred a bit, disappointing. Used heaped tsp/tbsp for dry stuff, they still have a buttery taste, could try tweaks next time.

I doubled all ingredients and divided into 3 (857gm each) giving us 3 meals. Used heaped tsp/tbsp to see if its has more spice/flavour. This turned out really well, think I'm getting closer, very happy with it.

Followed recipe and it was very nice, could do with more seasoning. On the BBQ I kept them moving with spatula, just tossing them around to keep from burning, it worked well.
