    I am absolutely in love with Mayflower curry powder - I can only find it in Morrisons though, not sure if you can buy it anywhere else?? - 99p and that makes 9 portions - tastes exactly like a curry from the chinese and is ready in about 3 mins!! perfect!!

    I've heard good things about mayflower curry - its on a par with Goldfish Brand apparently.
    I never knew who stocked it but will pick some up if i come across a Morrisons on my journeys!
    Thanks turtlemoose

    When you buy individual ingredients, it may seem expensive at first, but remember you have to work out the cost per use. Which in the long run should be less.

    I often make my own onion bahjis. Asda mag have a good recipe for them this month.

    I personally think that the cheap sauces don't always taste great. I really like the tesco finest tikka masala.
