Topic: Kashmiri chilli powder

[mr.mojorisin]

i've been to about 20 asian food stores in Glasgow and have yet to see Kashmiri Mirch.
my quest continues and one day I'll eventually find it
i'm off to KRK this weekend to see if they have some
see it on fleabay and also online but I'm a miserable sod and I ain't paying 2 quid for a box with 4 quid delivery

You can get MDH Kashmiri mirch (medium hot) or deggi mirch (hot) from the spices of India website. you can also get the basaar curry powder pictured on the previous page. That is where i buy them from.

There is a delivery charge but if you go over ?30 it is waived :-)

Hi James

Also available from http://www.theasiancookshop.co.uk/

Delivery ?2.99, or free express delivery if you spend over ?24.99.

Just received an order from them today (free express delivery), and they even gave me the hour timeslot it would be delivered.
Usually use SOI, but thought I'd give them a go as a lot of the items I wanted were a little cheaper, aswell as the postage.


When you made the chilli powder yourself did you remove the seeds?
I'd imagine they do for the Kashmiri chilli powder, as it is so red.

3 quid isnt too bad if youre still stuck.
A friend of mine was in krk a week ago and didnt find any in there.
Have you been to both Albert drive and Allison street?

Bassar curry masala is pretty good stuff (I have been using it as my primary spice blend for about six years), but it definitely isn't Kashmiri Mirch (Kashmiri chilli); have a look at KD1/PT for a way to try your Bassar curry masala.

I'd agree with you Phil on the bassar. And Deggi is Much hotter than kashmiri. I made that mistake thinking that they were both mild and  making my dad a curry which was too hot for him. 

Two revelations for me since joining this forum are bassar masala and panch poran.
Both are fantastic blends for making great curries!

I couldnt seem to find this stuff in any of the 3 Asian shops i use (at first) , then i asked and it always seems to be shelved in the least obvious place and it is actually sold in all 3!!! lol.......that said it isnt in a bag it always seems to be in a box and MDH brand. hope this helps as it does make a difference.

Krk is where I buy all mines from and they Defo have it, they have a lovely halal butchers joined onto it also which sells massive juicy chicken fillets. Woodlands road Glasgow
