Suya Spice (Yaji in Hausa) is the spice that I dapped the fillets in when making my Nigerian Suya: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ-Ulm5wOUQ&list=PLE94437A3B5684B6A

Ingredients for Suya Spice:

For 190g of Suya Spice, you will need:
– 5 tablespoons crushed kuli kuli 110g (1 measures 25g)
– 5 tablespoons ginger powder (75g)
– 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper flakes (6g)
– 1 small stock cube (4g)
– 10 strands of uda
– ½ teaspoon salt

Notes on the ingredients
1. The above ingredients are all you need to make your suya spice, no more, no less.
2. The dry ginger should always be the same measurement (in tablespoons, not grams) with the Kuli Kuli. So if you want to make a large quantity of the suya spice, use the same cup/bowl/container you used to measure the crushed kuli kuli to measure the ground ginger.
3. Though I listed the quantities for the stock cube and salt, you should add these two to your taste.

The make of my coffee grinder is Braun. I think it has been discontinued. You can buy Krups which is a great alternative:
