Jazz Up My Curry (bought jar)

Posts: 315 Forumite
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.
Felines are my favourite 0 -
As above - diced boiled potatoes are great. Onions too.0

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. Felines are my favourite 0 -
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!Sum quod sum.0

Saag is my favourite curry - so this is indeed a win.0 -
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.0
