AIBU to think they shouldn't put raisins in curry sauce?!

[Islacornx]

Is this a thing?! And if so WHY WHY WHY
Just got some chips and curry from a chip shop while down the beach and there's SO many lumps of what looks like raisins?! If they're not raisins what are they?

Think I'll be sticking with Chinese or Indian curry sauce from now on

Raisins, you say?

Did you check the hygiene rating first?

In the 70s all curry sauce available away from an Indian restaurant had raisins in. I know not why.
Fruit in curry is still a thing though. Our local takeaway does one with banana in !

YANBU - Rasisns are gross.

I worked in a chip shop as a teen and we haf two curry sauces, one with rasins and one without that was hotter.

I like it but I must admit it seems to have disappeared over the years. Haven't had any for a long time.

Upper!!!😮🤢😁

From a chip shop I wouldn't expect it, no. But I do like curries with raisins in, mine always have had, even a lot of micro ones do. They're nice!!

Lol they used to do this for school dinners when I was there :) (I'm late 20s)

Twist BANANA IN A CURRY?!

I love curry sauce with raisins. My mum used to make it when we were younger. The cheap supermarket own brand sauce has raisins in and I use several jars a month

I love an old fashioned, yellow, British chicken curry with sultanas in.

Oh I love it with raisins.

I would expect it in chip shop curry sauce. It's the only time I'd tollerate it tbh.

My dad still thinks it's tres exotic to put fruit in a curry.

Fruit in savoury foods can be quite weird.
The only dish I tolerate and enjoy it having fruit in is a nice tagine and cous cous - apricots and pomegranate respectively.

Coronation chicken has raisens in doesn't it?

They are in lots of Madhur Jaffrey recipes. I certainly use sultanas in the creamy, almondy sauces.

BANANA IN A CURRY?!

I had banana in a curry last week.

Raisins are a serious no no for me.

Apple and mango belong in curry, raisins do not.

I actually watched some random tv programme about a month ago where the guy was in India and they put some similar dried fruit in.

Surely they are sultanas not raisins??

HUGE difference.

Nice in some curries, better in a nice peshwari naan!

I never know the difference. Currants and mean little eyeballs though. Yuk.

No im with you. I bought some coronation chicken sandwich filoing the other day and it had raisins in, eugh,,,

I have a thing about fruit in savoury food. I think it harks back to the '80's when my mum made a homepride curry sauce with added sultanas. Love coronation chicken but not fruit in it.

Sultanas acceptable, raisins not acceptable imo
