Warm winter meal; a delicious change from soups and stews January 9, 2009
We came across the Kitchens of Indian curry paste during an Amazon grocery sale. We picked up a pack of six boxes for only $7! Even at its regular price, this is a good value for dinner. We've added the product to our Amazon Subscribe & Save program deliveries.
The aroma of onions, garlic and Indian spices filled our kitchen. The paste is spicy but mild enough that we didn't hesitate to share it with our young children. The curry dinners, which we serve with a side of steamed rice and some mild lime pickle, have been a tasty addition to our winter menu of soups and stews.
In addition to lamb, we've paired the curry paste with pork chops, cutting half the meat into small bites and leaving the rest on the bone - all of it slowly cooking in a saucepot.
I wouldn't recommend using beef or chicken with this curry paste. (The company has a Butter Chicken Curry paste we look forward to trying soon.) Although, tofu would work nicely if you want to skip the meat.
Wow! This stuff is GOOD! December 1, 2008

I usually make my own curries from scratch, but sometimes I'm in a hurry and prefer not to spend the time required. At that point, I'd head to one of the several good Indian restaurants to satisfy my curry cravings.
I read the reviews here, and decided to give the Kitchens of India Curry Paste for Lamb a try. All I can say is WOW! This stuff really IS good. At just over $2.00 per package, it's a great deal, too. Each package makes 2-3 servings -- very reasonable indeed.
I used lamb shoulder, cut into bite-sized pieces, and browned it a bit (the instructions don't tell you to do that, but I like the flavor), then added the paste and 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, and let it simmer for 45 minutes or so. I paired it with Saffron Yellow Rice, and it was very tasty.
I'll definitely be buying more of this. I also purchased the Kitchens of India Butter Chicken mix at the same time, and can't wait to try it!
Very authentic and spicy, tastes great with some basmati rice, great for beef too. November 19, 2008

This is the authentic product, I can vouch for it since I am from India. The ITC Hotel chefs who created this recipe are very well regarded in India. Its just the right mix for a spicy lamb curry, all you need to do is mix it with water and add the lamb and then let it simmer on your stove for 30-45 minutes to bring out the aromas and flavors. Really convenient and time saving.
The lamb curry paste is spicier than a butter chicken curry mix. The chicken curry usually has a more creamy consistency and is sweeter due to higher content of tomatoes. The lamb curry has a base of garlic, ginger, black pepper, onions, tomatoes and other highly aromatic Indian spices (bayleaf, cinnamon, star anise, cardamom, cloves, black cardamom, shah jeera, corriander seeds, red chilli powder etc.).
I usually make my own curry as I prefer fresh ingredients but this mix is wonderful, it has just the right blend of spices that go into lamb curry. The secret to Indian food is to lower the flame once a curry boils and then simmer it for quite some time. This step is not a must if you're in a tearing hurry but it unlocks the real flavors.
Once done this curry keeps very well in the refrigerator. In fact, as with all spicy curries, it even tastes better the next day. I use two packets at a time to make an entree for 6 people.
Variations:
I sometimes add some 1X1.5 inch cubes of diced potatoes along with the lamb to absorb the spiciness which makes it into a "Lamb Vindaloo". Or you can use beef instead of lamb, it will taste great with any red meat that absorbs the spice.
If you're a vegetarian, you can use this curry with potatoes and green peas since the curry paste does not contain any meat in it. Just remember to add peas towards the end of the simmering process or they will get bleached out and you'll get a fantastic dish.
Pairing:
Pair this lamb curry with some aromatic basmati rice, cooked till all grains are done but still separate, and a bowl of plain yogurt (with a little sugar if you like) to counter the spiciness. Or you can also buy frozen Indian nan/roti from the local Indian grocery store, toast it in the oven and enjoy. Yummy!
Yum! May 30, 2008
After trying the Chicken Curry mix we ordered more of the "kitchens of india" curry mixes. The lamb mix was so good that we will be ordering more of that item for sure.
