Lakpura Organic Red Fish Curry Powder is a blend put together for cooking fish the way it is done in Sri Lankan home kitchens. The whole spices are thoroughly cleaned before they are used, then roasted and milled under close supervision so that the mixture keeps its traditional character rather than losing it to heat or hurried grinding. What sets this blend apart from an everyday curry powder is the garcinia paste worked into it, which gives the mix its own distinct flavour. The spices are grown without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides and the powder is milled and packed in small batches in Sri Lanka.
100% organic certified by USDA Organic and Control Union. Both certifications are held on the finished product, which means the growing, the processing and the packing have each been checked by an outside body against organic standards. For you, that is simply an assurance that what is in the packet is what the label says: organically grown spices, ground and blended, with nothing added along the way.
- A ready-blended ground curry powder for fish, formulated to a traditional recipe
- Made from spices grown without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides
- Whole spices cleaned, roasted and milled in small batches under close supervision
- Free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives
Use it as the base for a Sri Lankan fish curry: rub it into cleaned raw fish, or stir it into the pan with onion, garlic and coconut milk before the fish goes in. Because the powder is already roasted, it needs only a short time in hot oil to open up, and it suits firm sea fish as readily as freshwater varieties. It also works well in fish cutlets, in a dry-fried fish preparation, or wherever you want the deeper, darker note of a roasted blend. Curry powders like this one have long been valued in Sri Lankan kitchens and traditional households.
Lakpura works with organic growers across Sri Lanka to bring the island's spices to the table much as they have always been prepared.
