I bought a jar of this curry sauce in Sainsbury's for just 9 pence last week. I have previously tried the Tesco Value one and found it to taste fine, so I thought that I would give this one a try, too. As it is so cheap, it wouldn't matter too much if it wasn't very nice, and I planned to use it as a base for my curry, with other spices added to it.

The jar contains 440g of curry sauce, and the label has the Sainsbury's Basics logo, which says that it is a 'simpler selection, but the spice is right'. The sauce is a brown/orange colour, and has the appearance of a curry sauce that you might get at the chip shop. The taste is fairly mild, but this is fine, as you can have it mild, if that is what you prefer, or make it hotter by adding more spices and chilli. I made a vegetable curry, with lots of onions, garlic, sweet potatoes, peas, potatoes and a vegetable stock cube. I then added water and the jar of curry sauce, as well as some of my husband's home-made spice mix. It turned out very well, and the sweet potatoes and the curry sauce went together very well, as the sauce is quite sweet, due to it containing sultanas.

A quarter jar of the curry sauce contains -
71kcals
0.8g protein
10.7g carbohydrate
2.8g fat
1.0g fibre
0.8g salt

It is low in fat and calories, and when served with vegetables, is a healthy meal. I will definitely be buying this again, as it is a good product, that can be served mild, or spiced up to make it hotter, and it is excellent value, at only 9p per jar.
