Bought a few weeks ago - tried the Vegetable Biryani. It was WAY too spicy for my husband and kids. Are any of the other 5 milder? Afraid to try them.

They are all pretty spicy. Indian food can be spiced down with sour cream or plain yogurt if it is too spicy for you.

Hello Laruen,Yes it is spicy if you use whole packet. First try half packet and taste it when it is ready, still you feel little spicy then add one table spoon plain yogurt and cook it. It will be better taste. You can refrigerate the other half packet. If you are using curry paste you can try 1/3 rd packet first time. After couple of use you will get better ideas that adding 1/2 tomato in curry or add more rice in biryani.

Hello Lauren,Yes, the butter chicken is delicious and less spicy, and liked by my husband and kids. I would recommend on ALL of the curry mixes using only half a packet and refrigerating or freezing the other half. Still flavorful -- may want to add a little cumin or ginger or garlic or salt, depending -- but not spicy. We like them and they're a great quick dinner.

Everyone has different tastes. But I would say if the veggie one is too spicy, the others will be as well. In my opinion, they are all similar in spicy-ness

When I 1st ordered I went through and ordered 3-4 of everything and was not disappointed. We haven't gotten anything that we thought "OH YUCK"...it has all been "OH YUMMY". I went to re-order the other day and I asked my husband what he didn't like and he said NOTHING everything is good. OK.... so then I asked his favorites: beef brisket, mozzarella sausages, hamburgers, teriyaki chicken, and steak fajitas. I personally like the different varieties of chicken and the meatballs. But no matter what you get it won't taste like microwaved food and you won't be disappointed! When I 1st ordered I went through and ordered 3-4 of everything and was not disappointed.

Thanks Art!! I have been searching for a well-priced source of black tahini. Dipasa it is! Can't wait to try it :P

We (family of four) use the pulp in one of our all-time favorite meals, which we call "whatever burgers" (they are essentially veggie burgers)... we're big lentil eaters, so we take the pulp, any leftover lentils from a day or two before (or if we are really craving whatever burgers, we'll make lentils especially- most kinds work well, and canned is also fine), a few handfuls of rolled oats to bind everything, a chopped yellow onion or two for flavor, sometimes some grated ginger, a sprinkling of salt, some chopped cilantro/coriander, a chopped green chile pepper, and some dry spices (usually Indian spices- garam masala, amchur)... mix it all together, add oats until it all comes together, and saute / very lightly pan-fry in olive oil (I usually just put enough olive oil down to coat the pan, and then again before flipping). These little burgers are so healthy, addictive, and have been a hit with everyone we've served them to! Plus- great way to get the fiber we miss by juicing. (We use a mix of veggie/fruit pulp- our standard juice is kale/greens+a small apple+half a lemon+a small chunk of ginger... sometimes carrots or celery make their way in there. No one minds finding the occasional apple peel in their whatever burgers- it's all part of the whatever!)

I agree. Thai Kitchen or Native Forest are better choices (although Thai Kitchen isn't a 'healthy' brand per se). I buy Whole Foods brand (organic) by the case from one of their local stores. Much cheaper and better than Natural Value.

Thanks so much for all your suggestions. I have strengthened the seal and things seem to be much better. I love the richness of the flavour so I'm not sure that a higher heat is the answer for me!Thanks agin.

No, it's not real spicy. I love Indian food, but can't take a lot of the hot spices. The Madras Lentils have character, but aren't overwhelming.

I love the ginger snap! It's definitely one of my favorites. I agree that the ginger, cinnamon and cloves give it a nice amount of spice. I have not yet tried the carrot cake.

Linda, I haven't used Gathering of Saffron, but I can vouch for the intensity and flavor of La Mancha. I first received this as a gift, then bought it for myself when I ran out (years later). I see that now the price has doubled since I received my first tin, so I suggest you jump on it and buy the big one! Cheers, MLR

I just attended and Asian Expo and purchased all three of these so I will share with you what I learned. To answer your first question, yes. All three flavors are vegetarian. Here are the ingredients for each flavor exactly as written on the can... RED CURRY: "Dried red chilies, Garlic, Shallot, Salt, Lemon grass, Sugar, Kaffir lime, Galangal, Spices (coriander seeds, cumin, cardamon)" GREEN CURRY: "Fresh green chilies, Garlic, Wild ginger, Shallot, Lemon grass, Salt, Kaffir lime, Sugar, Galangal, Spices (coriander seeds, cumin, cardamom, turmeric), Pepper" KAREE CURRY: "Dried red chilies, Shallot, Garlic, Soybean oil, Sugar, Salt, Fresh turmeric, Lemon grass, Spices (coriander seeds, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaves, lesser galanga, cloves), Galangal, Curry powder (whole mustard, fenugreek, wheat flour, chili powder, fennel, black pepper), kaffir lime" I was told green curry is the most popular in Thailand. Being in Southern California (where Mexican food is prevalent) I am used to hot foods but I think many others could find it on the hot side. I was also told the red curry was the hottest of the trio and the karee curry was the least hot. I liked this product over many of the others there because it didn't have any weird stuff like food coloring, MSG, preservatives or stabilizers. Amazon prices are always great but I wish I had bought more because it was C-H-E-A-P at the expo. I'll know next time!

I have never tried to do that I like it the way it is, but it is to hot for the rest of the family. I would think if you don't use the whole pack it wouldn't have a good blend. Maybe try it once to see, you can also use the original mix and add a little black pepper and garlic power, I do this a lot and it's not as hot.

I would say they're pretty close to the same spice. This is more of a smoky spice though. It's also a lot thicker than sriracha.

I know they are quite similar (can be taken on an empty stomach too). I quite like New Chapter's Turmeric Force but I think this one comes down to personal preference. In that case, I would try one out and see what your body says!

Not too spicy. I would call it a mild kick, but not so hot that it interferes with the flavor. Try them they are truly delicious (and easy to prepare)!

The Carolina Reaper Pepper is currently the hottest in the world. I have not sampled mine yet to compare with some other peppers I have.

Sorry to report that recipes are a dime a dozen out there and that I have hit on some really bad ones. Some recipes found in my kamado manual were not very good either. Your best bet is to web search for cooking times only and use your own favorite seasonings.
