    We have a mr s basics (9p)curry night every week and its yummy! Very nice for making a veg curry as well as chicken etc .We also serve it with mr s basics long grain rice.

  • I have the Mr T tins. I've found they need more flavouring. I add some extra curry powder and stuff. They are OK as basics but not something I'd use on their own.
    Put the kettle on. ;)

    My daughter likes it. A packet of basics noodles (cooked without the little sachet), bean sprouts (when Mr T sold them for about 7p a tin), some sweetcorn and the cheapy curry sauce made a quick, very cheap, Chow Mein style meal.

    i keep a couple of bottles of the Asda cheap stuff in the cupboard. Handy for when you've got some left over chicken, throw the chicken, chopped onion and a chopped pepper in the wok and add a jar of that.

    I use Mr S 9p jars as a kinda "base" or as just with chicken for a cheap quick meal.

    Fave thing to do though is to fry off onion and garlic, throw in the some chicken and or veg... then the jar of curry..... a tin of chopped tomatoes and some chopped coriander with extra curry powder or even paprika if no curry powder just to give it a kick. Simmer for a while and serve with mr S basic rice. Yummy and dirt cheap!

    I usually mix it with a good sauce like Pataks or something as a filler to bulk it out. I do the same with cheap sweet and sour and mix it with Sharwoods Kung Po. makes it go further....
