Wanted: Chip shop style curry sauce recipes.

[MontyVeda]

My local Chinese takeaway has been shut for nearly two years now and no other local chippy or takeaway does a curry sauce anywhere near as good as Gary's. I've not idea how to make a chippy style curry sauce but in the absence of a local takeaway to purchase one from... I'm gonna have to learn.

Anyone make their own chippy style curry sauce? ...preferably of the greeny-beige variety rather than the red stuff that the other local takeaways sell (its a tad too sweet and not quite spicy enough).

cheers

I've been looking for something like that, can't seem to find any though. We do have a handful of Chinese supermarkets... but it's hard knowing what's what without a basic understanding of Chinese. They do do some excellent instant noodles, no idea what flavours I'm buying but blimey they're good.

The 'Goldfish' brand isn't bad, the Chinese shops seem to sell the same brand around here as well as Tesco's
Edit: Very simple to use, just a couple desert spoons in a small amount of boiling water in a pot and stir until it thickens.

The supermarkets in Manchester China town sell a packet mix. I imagine that's what Gary was using

These are available in most supermarkets, make a very good curry.

I've also used this from a Chinese supermarket, they are avallable up to catering size, so somebody is using it in their takeaway shop.

Yes... I've asked for his secret recipe. He just grinned and changed the subject.

This is the stuff you want. Available from Morrisons. Various home made recipes for it on the internet but I haven't tried them

Never seen any in aldi (I work there). They did have a jar of 'chip shop curry sauce' in a while back, it was underwhelming and watery.
