This is a delicious blend to introduce children to curry flavours as there is NO chilli, yet all the flavours of curry spices are present, you can always add fresh chilli after you have served the children, for the adults to enjoy. We sugguest using in small quantities for your first use (approx. 1-2 level tablespoons for 1kg of meat or vegetables) and increase according to your liking.
