Nil. Sounds bloody awful...

sifty - 2017-09-13 14:28:00

How about ingredient free? Sheesh.....don't buy curry powder anyway, make my own, various....

lythande1 - 2017-09-13 15:01:00

Really?

moparpete - 2017-09-13 15:23:00

Most curry powder is gluten free

pommyjohn1 - 2017-09-13 15:48:00

I make my own spice mixes for curries. I don't buy generic "curry powder". What are you trying to sell?

Not trying to sell anything, want to buy some of that sort for a relative who is health concious ,vegan and has issues with food allergies. I find cereals and other food items with gluten free , organic, vegan mentioned in the label but yet to find a curry powder such as that. Hence the question.

moparpete - 2017-09-13 16:08:00

As gluten, sugar and salt are not actually spices I fail to see why people would think that a spice powder mix that was free of them would be inferior.

Have you been to a spice trader to see what spices and spice mixes they have? I know the ones near my old residence had quite a number of spice mixes. It was very bewildering but when I asked the Indians who run the shops, especially the ladies, they were so knowledgeable and fell over themselves to be helpful.

I don't buy pre-prepared curry powder but as curry powder comprises a number of spices I would expect all curry powders to be gluten free, sugar free and vegan. And most likely salt free too.

Ugh, sounds horrible. I have a stock pile of spices & make my own curries. Yes, I add salt. Nothing wrong with salt in moderation, and I never add sugar. If I wanted dairy free, I make a lamb curry that has no yoghurt or cream in it. It's not hard to do.

I think I know what you mean, if it's the 'gluten free' you're after. Spices are Just about impossible I've decided but I recently found an online place in Hamilton although I don't think I'm allowed to say its name here. They have all sorts :)

If it's the place I'm thinking of, she sells right here on TM... and they're fantastic.

Have just checked the packets for Prawn curry spices, rogan josh, and another 6... all say this:

"No preservatives or additives such as food colouring. Salt free, Gluten free, nut free and fat free. 100% pure"
And there's a terrific range of masalas and mixes. "Leena" is the name to look for, and the sachets come in resealable pouches. (and look for the $20 special...)

I like the fact there's no salt in them, too - both son and I both have illnesses requiring a severe limitation on salt.
