You can use any sauces or spices you want to experiment with the flavour you want. As you can see I went with a sort of Mediterranean kind of theme this time. Next time I might try with Indian spices and see how it goes. Luckily this recipe is super cheap as, if you have everything else in your food cupboard, you only have to buy one ingredient.
