Curry Kashmir, the boldly spicy Indian curry blend
Curry Kashmir is our strongly roasted curry blend with a high chili content. It tastes intense, aromatic and lingeringly hot, ideal for anyone who likes their curry with real character and plenty of heat. We mix and fill it by hand in our workshop in Klingenberg am Main.
How to use
Curry Kashmir develops its full aroma when you briefly toast it in hot oil or ghee before adding vegetables, pulses or tomatoes. This releases the essential oils and rounds out the blend beautifully. It works in vegetable curries, lentil and chickpea dishes, stews, rice and grain dishes, and gives salad dressings and marinades a bold note too.
Good to know: Because of the high chili content, start with a small amount and work your way up to the heat you want. Add salt at the very end.
Recipe: Kashmir chickpea curry
A warming vegetarian curry that shows the blend off perfectly.
Ingredients for 4 people:
- 2 tins of chickpeas (400 g each)
- 2 tbsp Curry Kashmir
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes (400 g)
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 2 tbsp oil or ghee
- Salt
Preparation: Sweat the onion and garlic in the oil until translucent. Add Curry Kashmir and toast briefly until fragrant. Pour in the tomatoes and coconut milk, stir in the drained chickpeas and let everything simmer gently for about 20 minutes. Season with salt at the end. Serve with rice or flatbread.
Why toast it first? Briefly toasting the blend in fat intensifies its roasted aromas and takes the edge off the heat without reducing it.
What's in it?
Curry Kashmir combines 16 ingredients. Turmeric provides the warm colour, while coriander and cumin form the earthy base. Chili along with long and black pepper deliver the bold kick of heat. Galangal, zedoary root, cardamom, mace, cinnamon flowers and cloves add depth and a subtle sweetness, while fennel, fenugreek, nigella and mustard round off the blend.
