To think curry using shop bought sauce is not homemade curry

[redskyatnight]

I mean the type where you basically fry up onions and meat/veg and then pour in sauce from a jar.

Not homemade curry IMO.

Think what you like, love

Agreed

Ditto bolognaise using dolmino or Ragu

I homemake nothing

What beachy said.

Unless you get all the ingredients and grind them up etc. and absolutley no jars, I agree, it is not home made.

One vote for you here.

If you haven't personally picked the curry leaves yourself, then YANBU!

More importanly why do none of the curry sauces in jars taste like a curry house curry sauce?

I pick curry my own curry leaves! I have a curry leaf bush in the garden.

i'll bet they didn't grow all the veg themselves either, or pump the water from the well they dug themselves to wash the pots in. tsk. lazy sods.

they made it at home, it's homemade. get over it.

Agreed. I make me own curry and any tomato based sauce. Cheaper, tastier & healthier.

But couldn't give a fig what others do so long as I don't have to eat it

and why would anyone care what someone else calls their cooking?

But so what? Who cares? Unless you know someone opening their own home-made curry house who's secretly getting it all from tesco?

People get a bit snobby about jars and cans. Its tomatoes mixed with spices, oils, herbs... Quite handy if you're not a confident cook. I can cook curries and casseroles from scratch but my husband and fil taught me. Before then I used jars. Not everyone can or wants to cook everything from scratch.

Meh

IF I havnt pricked holes in cellapahne and bunged it in the oven then its homemade not everybody can cook a curry so why not use a sauce Its a little better that ping meals ,

I made my own curry once. It was horrible. Its jars jars jars from now on for me.

What Quick? :o

Who cares? I hate food snobbery

DS2 (the designated household cook) can knock up a curry - I'd say delicious but it's all a matter of preference, we like it - in about 20 minutes using a jar of sauce and a pack of quick-cook rice. He'd have to spend half a day at it if he was grinding his own spices and all that faff. I'd never be able to drag him away from his PC long enough for that.

quick

I think pataks jars are so nice i wonder why anyone bothers to make it from scratch. I am quite a competent cook but I use dolmio and pataks sauces. I suppose it is down to personal taste. I think of it as home made because I chopped the onions!
