Curry Powder

[MamaK]

I'm a bit confused about curry powder. My program specifically says that it's OK, and it's also listed in many of the recipes both in my program book and online.

BUT! my program also says (on the same page, ironically) that anything with added starches is NOT allowed. And each of the various tins of curry powder I own lists ingredients like rice flour, maize flour etc. in small amounts.

So, what to do?

Is there a curry powder out there that is OK?
Or is curry powder the 'exception' when it comes to the 'no starches' rule?

Hi Mamak
Yes, there is a recommended curry powder - Clive of India Curry Powder, comes in a yellow round tin in spices section of the supermarket. I use it lunch and dinner almost every day (except not with prawns!) and i love it. I also noticed at a really good restaurant one day that had an open plan kitchen/serving area that they had a large catering tin so its well used and great flavour!

Also, thank you so much on Monday you suggested to me that my cheese & bisc for breakfast and no veg may have caused no BM's.I then realised i hadnt had any fruit all weekend, duh! where did i THINK i'd get my fibre from?? So thanks to yr wisdom i have had my fruit ALL week and had veggies with my cheese and bisc this a.m.! Pandora
