Unfortunately, the only time I've ever seen Madras curry powder, it
was Sun brand and the predominate flavor is salt. Even worse,
although "chillies" is the third ingredient on the label, there's no
heat what-so-ever. It's *horrible*!

If you see it, do not be seduced by the authentic looking packaging.
I've never seen any other brand and you know I'm not about to shop by
internet, so I may never know what real Madras curry powder is all
about.
