Afghan Curry Braise - 2.4 oz.
A savory blend that adds outstanding flavor to any dish. It works especially well to balance other robust flavors such as dark fish, meats, peppers and onions. The flavor is earthy and rustic, similar to a rub but with a mild curry-like quality. Notes of our signature Afghan saffron adds a unique twist to this traditional flavor.
All of our spices and seasonings are salt-free and packaged by hand to ensure maximum quality and freshness. Packaged in glass - BPA free.

Our Mission
We are a public benefit corporation and are committed to empowering Afghan women and bolstering the country’s economy. Rumi reinvests back into agricultural and manufacturing infrastructure.
Connecting AfghanistanRumi began with a mission to cultivate peace in Afghanistan. Over 80% of the Afghan population is reliant on the rural agricultural economy. The success of the spice industry not only helps farmers and the women providing direct labor, it can touch every member of the village we work in. We have seen output from our existing partners double and triple, while new farmers have asked to join our network.
With hot, dry winds over semi-arid lands, Afghanistan’s growing region is ideal for growing saffron and other artisanal spices. For example, in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, the International Taste and Quality Institute of Brussels awarded Afghan saffron first place out of 30 competing regions. Rumi saffron is tested in accordance with ISO (International Standards Organization) protocol 3632 and surpasses the highest standards for Category 1 saffron by over 25%. Our test results show that our farmers are producing some of the world’s best saffron.

Delicious
Easy and enhances any ingredient

Amazingly fragrant savory spice blend great for curries
Savory, complex, potent, and awesome smelling spice blend. Very versatile, you could use this in many different types of dishes. Packaging could be improved, the cork top tends to leak a little spice during shipping and isn't very secure.

Thank you for your feedback - we're working on improving our jars! More to come soon!

Original Afghan Spice versis Afghan Curry Braise
The Curry Braise has the same mix of spices (I think) but is much finer in texture which makes it hard to shake on vegetables, eggs, etc. Therefore, I am reluctant to use it along with the salt & pepper on the table as I could with the original Afghan Spice.
