Mc Currie Jaffna Curry Powder is a curry powder in the style of Jaffna and the north of Sri Lanka, sold in a red vacuum-packed pouch. Northern Tamil cooking is known for its heat and strong spice, and this all-in-one powder is made for that kind of curry.
The maker describes it as a blend of several spices that adds both flavour and aroma, so one spoonful can stand in for a row of separate spice jars.
