ready-made spice / ready-mixed spice


Explanation:
- as opposed to those ready-made dry/powdered spice mixes. i'm supposing the context sentence is talking of 'rempah (sedia) basah'.

[NOTE: technically i think 'rempah basah' refers to freshly prepared spice mix or spice mix prepared from fresh ingredients.]
