Lalah's Madras Curry Powder-1lb

This is an excellent curry powder mix and you get a huge amount for a very reasonable price. My lamb curry stew requires 1/2 cup per recipe so I require a sizeable amount without breaking the bank. Yummy.

I almost threw this product out after spotting the word “farina” in ingredients thinking it meant wheat but found out it really says “Bengal gram farina” which is chickpea flour! I am much relieved since I had just used it already and have mild gluten sensitivity (rash not celiac). There is no claim that it is gluten free however but should be fine for us “mild gluten sensitives”.Seems milder than some previous Madras curry powder that I bought before and I personally will use it liberally and add some heat. My husband who hates heat will tolerate this just fine.The red plastic container which I bought for storage convenience (instead of other products which just come in plastic bags) is difficult to open! The sealing/security plastic tabs holding the lid on during shipping are like steel. I could not open the lid by twisting but had to snip them. I ended up snipping too deeply and punctured the container twice, but sealed the tiny holes with glue. Just FYI be careful when snipping! Perhaps hire a safe cracker!

Good flavor

Had to "doctor" it with powdered hot pepper for my cooking. Too mild for my tastes. Great taste otherwise.

Lalah's is the curry I've known since childhood, and it's hard to find. I am very glad that Amazon has it. Do get the 2-pound container. It lasts a long time so that you won't waste your money. I have mine in the refrigerator. It's the authentic Caribbean curry flavor.

Hard to find this anywhere in the southern states.This is THE BEST curry powder on the market! It makes my curries as close to authentic as they can possibly get, without taking a trip to Guyana.You won’t go wrong using this curry powder.

This is a great base curry, it is not hot.It let's me build hotter curries on this base level.

Enjoy
