The Igniter Method
How to use Mitmita
01
Bloom the heat
Warm a little oil, stir in the blend for 15–30 seconds, then build your dish. This wakes up aroma without burning it.
02
Protein crust
Rub onto chicken, fish, tofu, or shrimp before roasting, grilling, or searing. Let it sit 10–30 minutes if you have time.
03
Finish bright
Balance the spice with citrus, yogurt, or a quick vinegar splash right before serving.
