Cobra is bloody lovely.
Was a good few years ago but remember one of the local curry places stopped selling Cobra and replaced it with mongoose instead, according to them it was how Cobra used to / should have been.Was a cracking pint but apart from that one place and the odd bottle at an independent off-licence which was also good I've not seen it since - shame really as I like Cobra an Indian restaurant but the shop bought stuff is pretty naff.
mongoose
Kingfisher
Cobra
In that descending order of quality.choice - find Cobra too gassy.

On the vegan theme - spicy chilli garlic tofu with pickled cucumber for Sista D
Expectation vs reality (was rushed and forgot sesame seeds which I specifically purchased earlier for this dish):
Not a fan of tofu, so cooked myself a chicken satay stir fry using a new satay sauce recipe:
Which.... was disgusting and ended up throwing it away, and had a bar of Aero chocolate instead. V annoying

Satay sauce is only a dip for putting skewers in (I think, can’t recall seeing it used as anything else in Asia) - it doesn’t really translate to anything else, hence I think that’s why I was horrid - pre me actually understanding this (by spending time in Singapore), I tried a few satay recipes like that and they weren’t very nice either
An authentic thick peanut sauce doesn’t really work as a main ingredient in stir fry IMO
Yours looks something like this? https://youtu.be/Xqekq20siI4

It was this recipe here for the sauce - https://www.recipetineats.com/thai-chicken-satay-p... I've bought pre-made store sauces in the past (specifically wholefoods) and it's worked great in the stirfry. An authentic thick peanut sauce doesn’t really work as a main ingredient in stir fry IMO

Yeah far too much going on in there for me, like the red curry powder! Lots of simpler recipes that look more authentic, on bbc food for example
And I agree on shop bought ones. There used to be a tesco finest satay sauce that had could just eat from the jar - I used to use it in stir fries… but once I learned more Asian food I realised it was a bit heavy, but that’s not a criticism of others who enjoy it - just noting that I don’t think Asian folk ever eat it like that
