I'm going to tell you all a secret <whispers> Asda smartprice curry sauce is really nice and it costs FOUR PENCE per jar

[MamaG]

Really, its nice

Good Lord! Any nasties in it?

Worth buying if you make jam - as good jars cost a bomb!

The Sainsburys basics curry sauce is also pretty good, about 13p I think.

hmmmmm

no curry in a jar is nice.

same as those vomit worthy canned mushrooms & canned new potatoes.

jam curry?

agree re canned mushrooms and canned pots

boak

but this IS NICE

I have to say, when I've looked at the ingredients on Sainsbury's Basics products, they are usually very, very good and free of any nasties. So this doesn't surprise me.

Sainsbury's Basics curry sauce is obviously a premium one, as I think it cost me 9p.

ooh get you BIWI with your fancy curry

lactic acid is something you get in yoghurt I think. Not a baddie as far as I know.

isn't lactic acid what builds up in your muscles and gives you cramp ?

Not from food sources though.

Lactic acid is used in the making of butters like Lurpak, also known as lactic butters (as opposed to sweetcream butters like Anchor - think silver foil versus creamy greaseproof). It gives a slightly sour note - a bit like adding lemon juice/tamarind juice.

Domestic science lesson now over. Have to get back to work!

Well that killed that one!

Lactic acid is what your body produces as a by-product of carbohydrate energy production.
In some metabolic diseases it can over-produce and be toxic.
But not in curry sauce or butter.
Its great what we don't know, ain't it!!

What is fenugreek?

It's a herb/spice it's good for milk production if you're breast feeding.

that in my slow cooker now with left over chicken and i agree it is yum

is anybody going to rush outa nd buy a jar?

i would if there was an asda nearby - totally

lactic acid fine just milk

4p is great, but it would cost me a couple of quid to get to an Asda so will not rush, but keep an eye out if ever in region of an Asda, thanks for tip

Sainsburys basics is 4p and not bad, I would call it a spicy sweet curry, and also good to have in cupboard for emergencies curry

Tescos 4p curry is nicer than asda imo. I add apples, pears and sometimes pinapple to it to make a fruity chicken curry in the nursery where I work.

Goes down a treat every time.

My favourite is korma. Will it suit me? Don't do hot, am a curry wimp!
