i just checked. the free ones are the spice tailor pastes, not kits…
Thanks
I haven't bought these before, anyone have a strong preference to their favourite?
My very Indian mum loves the Tarka Daal. I don't mind the Korma.
The best Korma is the one from Currymasters. The Aldi sauce isn't bad as a top up.
Go the Keralan coconut curry, if you like a mild heat, but good flavour.
The korma is pretty delicious too.
their daals are amazing. easily my favourite and also complete in that you dont need to add extra chicken or whatever to it
They are excellent, personally the butter chicken is awesome
Mangalore Roasted Coconut was good, pretty Spicy but good.
We eat the chicken korma, tikka masala, butter chicken and rogan josh regularly. All really tasty and easy to make.
I used to buy the Fiery Goan whenever on special and supplement it with a good deal of extra curry leaf, chili, pepper corn etc but then they changed the recipe.The new recipe is crap. Have half a dozen packs in the cupboard that I will probably throw out.
Assume the change was cost cutting as it certainly did nothing for the taste.
I will probably throw out.
Donate it somewhere!

You are right.
Somebody will be happy to have it.
When did it change? The missus loves the Rogan Josh so I have about 10+ in the cupboard. Nothing purchased in the last month or two.
These are probably the best ready-made sauces out there, and at this price, I will be stocking up.
Usually, to pimp it up, I will add a spoon of chopped ginger and garlic, and a good handful of finely sliced onions once I've fried the spices, and then carry on the recipe as stated.
Finish with fresh chilli and coriander and you'll have a curry that's as good as, if not better than 90% of 'Indian' restaurants out there.
Any stand outs I should try?
Goan one is good (or was, I have not had it in 6 months).
I prefer the Lee Kum Kee Paste in the coconut flavour.
The Fiery Goan is pretty good, but there's no bad one if I am honest. If you pimp them up a bit, even the butter chicken tastes very good.
I had the rogan josh with lamb only a few days ago, and it was excellent.
I thought that and used to cook these twice a week. I've always liked the idea of frying off the aromatics.
Then tried the Aldi butter chicken (with the spices in the cap-not the straight sauce jar). Add a little Greek Yoghurt / vegeta if you want. I think they're the best off-the-shelf sauces now. A few friends concur with me.
If you like chunks of capsicum and onion in your curry, a good tip is to get some kasoori methi (cheap as chips in Asian supermarkets), throw a good teaspoon into a container with sliced vegetables (separate the onion layers) and a pinch of salt. After a few minutes, fry the vegetables in 10ml oil in a pan that's as hot as can get it and the oil is smoking.
Scorch-fry and move them around until the skins are well caramelised, and when done, throw them back in the container - put the lid on if you don't like them too crunchy.
Add to your curry near the end. Dopiaza-style.
Username checks out, hah. My kids have a book about a kid who eats lots of curry and does deadly farts.
100%. We’re rural so the Indian restaurants around here are totally abysmal. But they rate well on Google, I guess the locals don’t know any better. I spent 3 weeks driving across India (Rickshaw Run) and authentic Indian food is magical. (Same for Chinese).
I buy these packs all the time, I usually add a bit more of the dry spices - curry leaves, mustard seeds, fenugreek. Before kids I used to spend hours in the kitchen making Indian but these packs are the next best thing. I’ll stock up on the weekend too.
It is a shame the Rangdang is not included - it is really good, too.
are these just simple marinate meat and cook up?
They come with 3 packets; spices, marinade and sauce
You fry off the spices and then add your marinaded meat, then veg and sauce
Keep an eye out for when the Red Thai Curry is on special.
I love these, but recently discovered the Teans beef rendang and chicken curry pastes on amazon and can't get enough of it… albeit Indonesian rather than Indian.
Apples and oranges really…
I like NY style pizza, but recently discovered shoestring fries : )
Lol you convinced me. Just ordered some now. I wasn’t a big fan of spice tailor.
Currently there's a targeted free flybuys offer for these.
