A savory, bright blend that adds outstanding flavor to any dish. It's earthy and rustic, similar to a rub but with a mild curry-like quality. Notes of our signature Afghan saffron add a unique twist to this traditional curry flavor.
The rustic and bright flavors in this unique curry braise work especially well to balance other robust flavors such as red meat, white fish, beans and grains. Add it to your soups and stews, use as a dry rub on lamb chops or beef kebabs, or season your grains as they cook for a rich depth of flavor.

I received your Rumi Saffron Threads as a Christmas gift … saw a recipe in your information card & placed my 1st order withy you … for the Afghan Curry Braise spice. I sent you an email on your website but still have not received a Reply from you. The Afghan Curry Braise cork was lose so the box smelled of spice, made a mess when I opened it, & I lost some of the spice because of it. I was NOT happy … with my 1st order! Please reply to my concern!
Easy and enhances any ingredient
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!
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.
Thank you for your support!
