Loyd Grossman's Madras Curry Sauce

As a long time curry lover who's very first curry was Chicken Vindaloo (that's another story) I have found it difficult to take curry sauces in a jar seriously and I have tried most of them. In my opinion, they all taste of too much vineagar, in particular the hotter sauces. I know that's what's supposed to be part and parcel of the original Goan vindaloo but neither Madras or vindaloo have never tasted that way in any restaurant or takeaway I have been to and I have tasted them up and down the country. Don't get me wrong, I like vinegar and usually drown my poor fish and chips with it! I cook ... more

All of us have probably heard of Lloyd Grossman from either Masterchef or Through The Key Hole, however, in the last two years he has also been making an appearance on our local supermarket shelves as he launched his range of sauces, soups and pasta. If like me you fancy a good curry now and again, this is definetely worth a try. I was for a long time an adict of Uncle Bens range but after a while it just tasted the same time and time again and I was looking for something different. Once I tried this my currys started to have a bit of taste in them and not just the hot burning sensation you ... more

I was a bit speptical when I heard the Loyd "throught the key hole" Grossman was now producing sauces for pasta, curry's etc but my husband suggested we give them a try as we were getting tired of the Dolmio type sauces on offer that we always try. We went for the Loyd Grossman Madras as my husband likes spcicy curry sauces but he did have a wide range available, such a Rogan Josh, Bhuna, Thai Chilli, Balti, Korma etc. The packaging was quite intriguing too, it looked more classy than some of the other sauces on offer such as the Dolmio as mentioned before. I guess it was a little expensive at ... more

I just had a curry for lunch and for the first time I used Lloyd Grossman's Madras Curry Sauce. I normally cook for my dad - who has recently found out that he has coeliac disease (intolerance of gluten/wheat) - this is the reason why I chose this sauce because we'd never tried it before and it's suitable for his diet. When you open the jar, the sauce looks really oily, but once it's in the pan it's fine. If you like a spicy curry but you don't want your mouth set alight, this is a good choice. The sauce includes many ingredients, the main ones being garlic, onion and chilli, but there are so ... more

as we go through the key hole! Yes Mr. Lloyd Grossman has stopped being a nosey parker and has decided to work in a factory making fine sauces that cost the earth because hes made it, but do taste suprisingly good! I do like a good curry especially on a friday night after a long hard week at the office and I splashed out on one of Lloyd's jars of delight for the sum of £3.99 I must have had a screw loose! However on inspecting the packaging it made my day as it was a bottle and could be fully recycled also clear instructions aided the cooking of my curry extremely well. The smell and overall ... more
