Re: Re: Indian seasonings, condiments

[Guest guest]

Sukhi's is a family-run company that makes GF chutneys and packaged seasonings (e.g. Vindaloo "curry" mix). They seem to have a true commitment to quality. For those of us without the familiarity or drive to make everything from scratch, their products are a big help. Also -- I'm passionate about their tomato chutney.

They sell at farmer's markets, on-line, and at some Whole Foods, CalMarts, etc.

I can't remember what their entire line includes; they may sell individual spices. They have a good website that would tell you.

Subject: [ ] Re: Masoor Dal / red split lentils & Curry Powder

I buy an Indian brand of split red lentils, and they are my favorite. I always rinse them very well and dry before using and I have not personally found any grains mixed in with the lentils. I also do not react to the lentils. I have to say that I also don't think there is an issue for Celiacs at least with some brands.

And, I've never had any issues of any kind with curry powder from McCormick. Penzeys is a great source of gluten free spices and blends, and they do have a very nice garam masala.

> I eat split red lentils regularly -- usually the brand is Calleris - and there has never been anything other than lentils in the package, other than the occasional small stone; usually the package even tells you to sort through the lentils and wash them before eating to remove the stones. Split red lentils are fairly large, so I think it would be obvious to me if there were something else mixed in. Obviously you should avoid eating the lentils if you have a reaction to them - though it may simply be the broth or sauce you are cooking them in; but I really don't think they need to be avoided for others with celiac.?
