Which do you think wins overall when you factor in cost/time/health/flavour/versatility (can I make different curries by adapting the tinned stuff?)?
I'm debating whether to make a large batch of curry sauce (famous recipe on MSE!) or buying those 5p tinned sauces.
I have never tried either before now but I usually avoid tinned sauces like the plague bc they are too slimey and gelatinous as well as full of E numbers.
However... in these times of frugality, I'm prepared to reconsider.
