Sourcing food from around the globe always starts with sifting the wheat from the chaff, removing growers who are not growing in the right climate for the crop, no point in buying Star Anise from Latin America, the flavours would be wrong
Trust is a major step, finding a good source, getting a sample and then importing, going through all the paperwork and tests just to export out of some countries, then the paperwork to import into the UK - EU
All this though is worth it, to see the crop turn up fresh aroma and full bodied flavour as nature intended, then passing onto yourselves to cook with and hopefully end up with a smile in every meal

For years now I have been on the search for true kashmiri chilli
In India, the meaning of Kashmiri is simply Red Chilli, many types come with the name Kashmiri according to the Indian Spice Board
This just leads to confusion for everyone
After loosing a few contacts with this chilli, with our last shipment being lost in transit and no way of sorting out to be exported due to the sad passing of my main contact in India, I found an excellent family run spice company in Goa, who truly appreciate the meaning of quality and true type
To that end, today we have True Kashmiri Chilli arriving in, from the sample we had and the pictures of the stock in the boxes, we will for the first time in years have true flavour as we understand kashmiri chilli to be
Low heat, bags of flavour, as one of the most popular curry cookbook authors The Curry Guy states in his recipes - low heat kashmiri and hot kashmiri
I would not normally say anything about stock till it arrives in but feel excited to say watch the link below, will be populated later this evening latest with True Kashmiri Chilli
Will be sold in 2 pack sizes only to start with, hope everyone enjoys the true flavours finally
