Put 5 chicken portions in a casserole dish stir in the sauce and cook for 1hr 30 minutes stirring occasionally. The curry sauce can also be cooked on the hob which is the way we cook ours.

...does not stick itself to the bottom of your pan. This makes a really lovely chicken curry. I have only ever tasted this sauce as a chicken curry, but I think you could make a really nice beef curry or vegetable curry using this sauce too. The jar label tells you that for a vegetable curry you could add potatoes and peas to the sauce.

Advantages: Nice taste. Nice price.
Disadvantages: The smell.

...yellow in colour. The Homepride logo is encased in navy blue on the top of the tin. On the other side are the cooking instuctions, ingredients, nutritional information and contact details etc. The tin is really easy to open. There is a ring pull which - once you've been able to actually get the ring pull up - easily gets the can open! To look at, the curry sauce is light brown in colour. Not a very pleasant colour, you might think. And you're right! ...
...But there is a nice picture of a curry on the tin, which tempted me into buying it in the first place. Contained in the sauce are onions, tomatoes, sultanas, spices, desicated coconut, amongst other ingredients. The smell of the curry I wasn't all that keen on. It sort of smelt like the curry sauce you get from the chippy. But I wasn't going to let this put me off from trying it. I was, afterall, hungry and determinted to get my dinner! Cooking ...

...chicken or roasting my own, then cutting it into pieces and adding this to the sauce is a lot easier and provides a great tasting chicken curry. I found that I needed to stir this regularly whilst heating it over a low heat or it will stick to the bottom of the pan. It even started to stick to the bottom of my brand new non stick pans. For a vegetable curry the jar suggests cooking the curry sauce with potatoes and peas, but really I think that ... Read review

Advantages: It does actually thicken sauces!
Disadvantages: leaves residue if not mixed properly

...the granules. 1. I cheat when i make gravy anyway and use gravy granules, but for years ive added half an oxo cube to the gravy granules and a bit of flour. There's only two of us in the house so the standard size mug isnt really adapted for gravy making! My mother introduced me to the little pot of thickening granules and it is a god send for quick simple gravies in a mug. 2. Another use is the same idea as gravy in a mug but with curry granules. I regularly take a microwave packet of rice to work and i make up the curry sauce to go with it and add my thickening granules and its nicer than runny curry sauce. 3. I also am a fan of the "Homepride" sauces. My usual dish where i add the granules at last minute of cooking, is White wine sauce. I bake meat pieces and the sauce for an hour or so then just before serving i stir in the granules... Read review
