Cook in Sauces

Post by Diesel » Fri Jun 09, 2017 9:52 pm

Yes, I know, make it yourself from scratch it's much better and cheaper blah blah but:

Are there any out there that are Okay, sometimes I don't want to spend time preping, using every pot in the kitchen to make a meal.

There must be some Curry, Chinese or Italian cook in sauces out there that are half decent, surely?

Loyd Grossman's aren't half bad, the Italian ones.

Puttanesca with a bit of chilli in is good.

Always found Homepride very good for a push off meal, and Blue Dragon are good
for The Oriental meals.

I haven't had many because blah blah blah I'd sooner make my own.

The ones that I have had (Lloyd Grossman's Thai sauces, Sharwoods Black Bean etc) have always needed a bit of meddling with to come up decent.

If you like tomato and basil then Marks and Spencer's tomato and basil soup could be converted into a good sauce for pasta with little effort, if you're into pasta that is.

It's the best supermarket soup that I've had.

It's only cheaper if you have a kitchen full of herbs, spices and what not.

These are the best cook in sauce curries ive had by a mile.

None are as good as a proper home made curry obviously but these are as close as you can get. They have about 10 or 15 different flavours.

You dont need to chuck much else in other than meat but I still throw some extra onions, chillis, peppers etc to pack it out and add flavour.

That brings back memories working in Stoneyholme in the 80's .:lol: It's just concentrated sauce which you can water down to your own taste,very good value compared to the sauce types.

Lee Kum Kee for the chinese, although I only buy their pastes like chilli bean or garlic chilli.

There's no excuse for not making your own tomato sauce - I do 8 cans at a time with about 5g of Italian seasoning (or fresh basil if I have it) with a couple of grams of sugar and salt. Ladle them into cheap plastic bags and freeze em. For a couple of minutes work, you'll get about 12 portions out of it.

You see this exactly why I started the thread, I've never seen this brand before but the packaging, branding and your endorsement makes me want to give it a go.

Where can we buy?

Booths do a spinach one where there is 3 steps, spices, base sauce and the main sauce. Add some chicken thighs , a couple of strong chillies and half a can of chick peas to it and it is spot on. Few chappatis on the side.

For an easy side dish, chop up a cauliflower, add some tikka spices and a tablespoon of oil and roast in the oven for 25 mins.

The Kohinoor brand was labeled as " not fit for human consumption" by the USA food administration. One particular ingredient if I remember correctly. Might want to check up on that. probably nothing.

Not sauces but I find the mayflower powder to be quite good for Chinese curry taste the medium one not the hot one. The southern style gravy is supposed to be nice as well exactly same as KFC gravy not tried it myself though.

Chinese curry sauce? Buy some Goldfish Original Chinese Curry Sauce paste from t'supermarket. Boil some water and turn the heat down to simmer. Add and dissolve a Knorr chicken stock cube and stir. Add some curry paste to the thickness that you want - you can always add some more hot water from the kettle if you if get it too thick or add more paste if you get it too thin - then add some garlic and maybe some chilli powder or cayenne pepper if you like it hot. And that's it.

My Chinese king prawn curry dish. Stir fry some chopped onion, chopped green or red pepper, diced mushrooms and then do what I said above. Add king pawn, but be careful not to overheat them if they are already cooked. Stir them in and serve with rice or noodles.

If you only want the sauce, say for something like sausage and chips, then just follow the first paragraph and only do the sauce. It only takes 5 minutes or so.

Hi diesel. I am a decent cook and know that making your own sauces is easier, healthier and cheaper but I'm not precious and would strongly recommend giving Simply Cook a try. You sign up and get the ingredients (i.e 3 pots of spices/herbs) and a recipe card telling you what main ingredients to buy (chicken/steak/onions etc). I have never had a bad meal some are as good or better than what I make from scratch but two or three times as quick and the curries are excellent. They do a trial box for £3 ( 4 meals) then send you one a month for a tenner so it works out pretty much the same as a Grosman or Homepride but in my view 10 times better. You can choose the 4 recipes and you can stop or suspend deliveries any time. Highly recommended. https://www.facebook.com/Simplycookcom/ ... 058487732/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Lancaster has it.

In my experience, they are ALL shite. You cannot get a good tinned/jar/packet cook in sauce without messing about with it. If you have to do that, the point of it is lost.

Make your own using the proper ingredients and it will be like it's supposed to be.

Sometimes it's a case of needs must and you may not have the time to make a decent curry base. This is when sauces, like the Kohinoor ones posted by Cricketfieldclaret upthread, come in handy. They really are decent for a precooked sauce.

Years ago I bought a book which was about how to recreate restaurant curries at home. I spend hours cooking down onions and garlic then dry frying the spices.

Looked fantastic but tasted of **** all.

one small onion
one tin of tomatoes
one teaspoon oil
one teaspoon sugar
salt and pepper

chop the onion and fry in the oil til soft

add the tomatoes and the sugar and reduce until you can drag a wooden spoon through and the gap doesn't flood.

season.

less than a quid and can go with pasta, on a pizza or with a tin of borloti beans.

There's a halfway that is better than buying a pre made sauce. For me that involves making an industrial batch of tomato sauce every few weeks or so (see the home made pizza thread on that). It's cheap and doesn't involve more than one large pot (and hours of simmering). Once you have that, and jars of your favourite pastes - Thai curries, or Indian, etc along with tins of coconut milk you can make a whole range of dishes. Homemade tomato sauce will last a couple of weeks in the fridge, and years in a deep freeze. There's always a container of it in my fridge, because it works with so many things. Mix in an appropriate curry paste and some coconut and you'll make curries that work with virtually anything - meat fish or veg. And you'll stand a better chance of saying you made the lot from scratch because it won't taste like a pre made sauce.

I think he realises there is better time consuming options out there but may not be arsed or have the time to prefer the time consuming option. In response as already pointed out the Lloyd grossman's you can't go far wrong for what it is it's alright.

Not exactly cook in sauces, but if you are a fan of takeaway/British Indian Restaurant style curries,there is a very good You Tube channel called Al's Kitchen. He makes a huge pot of the 'base gravy' that is used in nearly all takeaway dishes and then demonstrates most of the popular curries.

If you are a reasonable cook and like that style of dish then it is worth a watch.

Spotted some of these today in Padiham Tesco (top shelf stuff ! !)

I bought the "Fiery Goan Curry", added a small red onion, an extra cardamon and
an extra clove. Cooked with a couple of chicken fillets.

Excellent quality and a brilliant substitute for a genuine Indian meal.

Thanks for the heads up.

we have a British expat curry cooking competition annually here. We're 30 strong and some locals have joined in. Not one of us would ever go near a sauce or a curry powder - it represents voluntary expulsion from the contest.

I should jolly well think so, and I couldn't agree more. However, as stated earlier in the thread, there
isn't always the time to prepare a curry from scratch, and when you are desperate for a curry then
some of these sauces are a godsend.

I was feeling peckish for tea tonight, so I just went to the kitchen, dug out all of the fresh ingredients I had to hand and made a homemade paella with some fish I caught at dinner. Followed it up with a blackforest gateaux entirely made from scratch with cherries I picked on the way home!
