bought a box of kashmiri mirch made by -brand name Catch   and when opened I expected it to be a red colour but was a light brown /yellow ish colour.
I was under the impression that  Kasmiri Mirch should be red-anyone used this?

 excellent work-nice to have main recipes in one folder  on my hard drive

 Thanks guys for great posts.
looks like the knack is singeing the spice mix.
Can you confirm  for all curries you made  that this is done with the tomato paste mixture added   or is it done just with the spice mix in the pan

Keep up the good work.

Jalpur GM purchased from Indian supermarket/ C&C  nr manchester - sure there must be other retailers about. 

just purchased a  box of Julpur Garam Masala(?4.35 for 375 gms.)
Ingredients  are
Black pepper, Cinnamon,Cloves,Black Cardomons,Star Aniseed,Coriander, Cummin,Red chilli, Mixed spices.

when opening the box the gm which is an a polythene bag smells quite strong with the emphasis on the cloves/star anise  side of things- smells more chinese than indian.

noticed that bases vary in colour and some t/a use a quite yellow base.
Which bases here produce a yellow base rather than a light brown
cheers
