Some curries start with a jar of sauce. The ones you remember from a British kitchen usually started with a spoonful of Sharwood's Hot Curry Powder, and somebody saying "that'll do" before adding another.
This is the hot one. Not the gentle stuff kept back for visitors. This is the one that warms the back of your neck by the third mouthful and has everyone reaching for the water while insisting they are fine.
Stir it into mince, a pan of softened onions or last night's leftover chicken, and the whole house smells like a Friday night back home.
It is the UK product, and it ships from within Canada.
Frequently asked questions about Sharwood's Hot Curry Powder
Q: How hot is it really?
A: Hot enough to earn the name. It is the step up from mild, so start with less than you think and add more once you have tasted it.
Q: How much is in the pack?
A: It is 102g of powder, which goes further than you would expect, since most curries only need a spoonful or two.
Q: Is it a good thing to send to someone who misses home?
A: It is a cheerful one. Pair it with something from the Sharwood's range and you have sent them a whole Friday night.
More about Sharwood's Hot Curry Powder
Curry powder has been a cupboard staple in British homes for generations, and Sharwood's is the name a lot of people grew up seeing on the shelf. It sits in that very British tradition of the home-made curry: quick, a bit improvised, and nearly always better the next day.
People in Canada search for it because the flavour is the one they know. You can follow a recipe to the letter, but if the spice is different, so is the dinner. This is the one that tastes like your mum's version, or your flatmate's, or the one you made at university with whatever was in the fridge.
It is a dry powder, so it keeps happily in the cupboard with the lid on tight, ready when the mood strikes. Fry it off with onions to wake it up, then build from there. A little goes a long way, and the hot version means it.
Sharwood's is known for its curry sauces, chutneys and poppadoms, and plenty of people put together a whole curry night from the range. A jar of mango chutney next to this is never a bad idea.
