Kashmiri Chilli Powder

[analysisparalysis]

Has anyone seen Kashmiri Chilli Powder in any of the stores around Halifax? I checked out the Indian store on Robie and they didn't have it. Looking to make some Lamb Rogan Josh.

Update:

The Indian store on Robie now has bags of whole Kashmiri chillies.

Here is a link to the Rogan Josh recipe I wanted these for - in case anyone is interested:

My curry still didn't get as red as his. I think maybe because I didn't quite grind it into a fine enough powder. I either use goat meat (Indian store on Robie - $7.99/lb) or lamb from the grocery store to make this recipe.

Try the Big Ray Asian Store in Dartmouth. They have some Indian spices and ingredients - not extensive mind you - but I'm always surprised what I find there. The lady owner is very helpful and if she can find a supplier she'll bring it in.

They say:
"You can find this spice in any Indian grocery store and it may be sold under the following names: Kashmiri chili powder, Kashmiri mirch, degi mirch, deggi mirch, deghi mirch and similar variants."

Did you ask for any of these names on Robie Street?

Good luck in your pursuit.

Thanks I will try Big Ray Asian Store. I did ask for Kashmiri chilli powder at the store on Robie and also the Middle East store on Agricola. They both said they just have the standard Cayenne.

Try giving one of the Indian restaurant chefs a call at off hours. They may head you in the right direction. A friend suggested checking out a halal Indian restaurant on Dutch Village Rd. that might sell spices too.
