Use however much spice you like, though I would suggest that you try it as per the original recipe first, fry a small test sample/patty and adjust as/if required. As a rough guide use 15 g of spice mix per kilo of sausage.

For the water, opinions vary from 3 % up to 20 %, again I would suggest that you use the water at the level in the original first (370 ml + 30 ml fresh lime/lemon juice which works out approx. 13 %). Note: make sure that the water is CHILLED/ICE COLD potable/unchlorinated water. ie bottled water etc. If in doubt boil it first then chill down to nearly freezing.

ONCE MADE THEY SHOULD BE KEPT OVERNIGHT BEFORE EATING.

Hope that this is of some use to you

mevisblair MSG or monosodium glutamate is similar to salt as mono means single and sodium is a chemical type salt belongs to. The flavour effect of MSG is similar to salt but more intense.

A very small proportion of the population are allergic to it. I would say do not use vinegar or lemon to replace MSG.
