Jazz Up My Curry (bought jar)

Outdoorlass

Hi

I have broken a rule and bought a jar of homepride curry sauce (well it was half price and at 77p didn't think I could make it cheaper. I have left over beef from yesterday to put in it, but not a great deal, what can I jazz it up with to bulk it and stretch it out. Would like to get a few portions out of it.

Thanks x

A tin of canellini beans or butter beans, or some diced boiled potato.

As above - diced boiled potatoes are great. Onions too.

Sorry but I have a mental image of a jar of curry rolling along on a set of alloy wheels with a body kit, banging stereo and a set of furry dice

Just add them about 20 minutes before the end of cooking time.

I always add frozen spinach to my curries. Tastes lovely, bulks it out, is healthy, and the water in it makes the sauce go further. Winner all round!

I always add mushrooms, onions and peppers to practically everything I cook

Saag is my favourite curry - so this is indeed a win.

Lentils or chickpeas work really well to add bulk. I also love curried cauliflower, so for me beef, cauliflower and chickpea is an ideal dinner.
Must be lunchtime as I'm ravenous now, just thinking about it.
