Favourite curry sauce in a jar?
Discussion
sausage curry was a staple food when my fiscal management skills weren't up to scratch. as such you should find that you have next to nothing left in the fridge. recipe is along the lines of:
half a dozen sausages, chopped. not the fancy ones as you already know! this is likely to be your only bought ingredient, so head to supermarket and get cashback whilst your there, sausage curry is generally the sort of meal you have once the cash machine has started to laugh when you ask it for money.
a large onion, finely sliced. the onion will no doubt be soft on the surface by now, so ditch the outer layer.
half a pepper that you found in the salad drawer but can't remember the last time you ate salad. again, its likely to be past its best so chop quickly and try to forget about it.
some mushrooms, preferably stolen from a housemate.
heat pan, chuck it all in together and go watch tv. come back every now and then for a quick stir, then lob the sauce in. works best over chips and serve on the biggest plate you have. hopefully passing housemates will want to cadge some, at which point you can negotiate a curry:beer exchange rate
its a satisfyingly dirty meal, and welcomes the addition of brown sauce etc. as required. certainly makes it all the better once you're flush again and tucking into a nice fillet steak!

4p for a jar of curry sauce?
Really?
I dare not consider what is in that for 4p
Yeah, super cheap. Must be a loss leader.Really?

I was in Tescos last night and they had a regular sized can of shaving foam for 29p. (Not that I'd recommend anybody uses this as a base for curries).

I buy the Bombay Authentic range - have only found them in Waitrose. The Madras is lovely.
I can also recommend their Luxury Mango Chutney! Very hot!
Have to say, the worst curry sauce in a jar I have tried is (surprisingly) Lloyd Grossman's korma. It was awful.

Bit of a thread resurrection after 3 weeks, but nobody mentioned the 'Sizzle & Stir' range of sauces 
I don't even know if they still make them, but I lived on them at uni. Two jars in one wrapper, the top one was the paste, chuck that in the pan and fry the meat in it, then add the sauce from the bottom jar.
Best Korma or Tikka Masala I've ever had from a jar.
