Such an odd thing to say Captain Obvious. It's like posting a deal for a Smart Car & someone saying "Ferrari are better".
You gonna make a homemade curry from scratch everyday? You must have some obedient slaves in your house mate :smile:

If I don't have much time, I use a jar of pataks and make it even better by using some whole spices and fresh coriander.
I first heat some oil on a gentle heat and when the oil is hot, I add 2 or 3cloves, a piece of cinnamon maybe an inch long and 2 or 3 cardamom and a whole dried red chilli.
I let the spices infuse into the oil for around 45 seconds (be careful not to let it burn)
You can remove the whole spices at this stage if you don't want too much heat.
I then add diced chicken to the oil and stir fry the meat till its sealed off.
I then add the sauce and cook it. Some chopped coriander at the end will make it taste even nicer.
On the other hand , the spice tailor brand is even better as it comes with the sauces/ whole spices etc in separate packets. I usually buy it when it's on sale for around £2 .
However this deal at 60p a jar is very good value.

B&M smells too bad to go into where I live. It almost smells as bad as cex.

You are correct but the jars are a short-cut.
Also they are a first step for those who don't yet have to confidence to cook a decent curry from scratch.
Ok you or I could make something better from scratch easily but the sauces are a great way for people to make a start. Next go add their own spices and then try doing away with the cooking sauce all together.

I would laugh, I made the same comment about ALDI but got called a snob. I was in B&M today and the smell was unbearable, I made it quarter of the way around the labyrinth and had to make a sudden about turn because it was horrible.

Pataks taste it has way to much sugar , korma etc. I've recently started making my own, it's a **** of pish to make, our food is way harder to get right as its mostly individual and not all mixed like most takeaway food, and ours is soooo much more healthy, so if u can do a Sunday roast, these dishes are just a walk in the park. Waiting for the usual fish and chips comment now lol

****Question****
Any of you guys still get the cans of Pataks Vindaloo in your B&Ms?
Not seen them in mine for a few weeks and I'm starting to panic!!!
(BTW, the cans of Pataks are by far superior to the jars. You have to make an onion / Onion + tomato base to go with it, but it's well worth the effort)
