Curry Powder

[Khaled]

Assailant Alaikum,

Can anyone recommend a good curry powder? I remember someone once mentioning a brand called Babas but haven't been able to find it anywhere.

[aussiemu]

I buy mine from the indian grocery store. no specific brand for me. There is different types such as madras but I just buy a general one.

Baba's is available at some asian grocery stores. From memroy, it's more geared towards malaysian etc curries.

[Khaled]

Where is memroy? Never heard of it.

Yeah I'm going to use it to make a Malaysian curry so Babas would be good. Anyone know where I can get it from?

[Iva]

Lol I think she meant 'from memory'?

Babas is the one I use and it's available only at the Asian grocers. It's in a dark green packet

[Khaled]

Ok, But can someone please give me the names and locations of some Asian grocery stores which sell them????

[Iva]

i dont know which area you live in but theres one in Glenroy on pascoevale rd behind Coles or a few around preston market. i think the one aussiemu goes to is in meadow heights but i have no idea where.

[Khaled]

I live I'm Epping. Ok jazaakAllaahu khayr sister I will investigate further.

aussiemu, can you tell which about the MH store please? JazaakAllaahu khayr

[Khaled]

Can't wait to mak curry in a hurry

[aussiemu]

I'm not sure if the MH one has it. I never looked for it there so never paid attention. The MH one is a Vietnamese store inside the Meadow Heights shopping center where IGA is (just off paringa blvd from memory). It's right next door to MH IGA.

Khalid go to Dalton spices on high st, u turn right at the end of your st, heading towards my house, its across the road. its at the end of the small strip of shops, first shop is atlas books, then the shop is at the end, u can't miss it. Kinda next to the restaurant called the secret.

A bit after centrelink.

When you go in ask them for it cause some of their curry powders are all over the place.

The asian store in Preston Market stocks them and most spice shop in the area have them as well.
