Though the name is not Malian in origin (it's Filipino), the blend of dried garlic and dried chilli found in Asian cookery is also commonly used in Malian cookery, hence its inclusion here. In Mali the mixture is commonly called 'spice' and as the term simbala powder is more familiar and descriptive, I will use this name here.
