Any Indian MNers?

[nappyaddict]

have you tried the kohinoor curry sauces? I have just found them in our local indian supermarket. they come in a foil pouch and it says they are made in New Delhi, India. I just wondered whether they are worth buying and if they taste authentic?

Well id like to know too

:)

I'm Pakistani and I think I know the pouches you are talking about, and I steer clear. To get a decent proper curry flavour takes time, eg even onions should be fried for about 15-20 minutes to get the sweetness from them. If you want an easier way to make a curry our you dint want to buy a whole lot of specialist spices, the best way is the ready made spice mixes, made by either Shan or Lazeez. They are quite chilli though, if I use them I prefer to use half the pack (giving it a good shake first to evenly distribute the spices in the mix)

Hth, someone else might come along and say they had it and it was great though!

what about their curry pastes?

Personally I avoid curry pastes, I tried one I think it was pataks and I didn't like it. But then a friend of a friend starting making curry paste at home and selling it, that was great. But she e was just selling locally and I've moved now. Sorry I can't be more help! The spice mixes are well worth trying though.
