Pataks Rogan Josh Cooking Sauce 15oz (Spicy Tomato & Cardamom) Review

Pataks Rogan Josh Cooking Sauce 15oz (Spicy Tomato and Cardamom)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The whole jar is only 180 calories with very little fat and even a little fiber. Easily makes a meal for 4. I cut up 4 chicken breasts into 1" chunks and cook it, dump in the sauce, simmer for a minute, serve over rice and voila! So fast, easy and gooood. It's a little spicy and full of flavor.
I buy it at Cost Plus World Market.

Tomato and cardamon are at the heart of this medium spicy sauce dish from the Kashmir region of India. Traditionally made with lamb (Josh or Gosht means lamb), Rogan Josh is equally delicious with chicken, beef or vegetables.

S&B - Golden Curry Sauce Mix - Medium Hot 3.5 Oz. Review

This stuff is great--it's probably horrible FOR you, in terms of sodium and fats and so forth, but who cares--it sure is delicious. You can't be a health nut every day of the week.
If you like HOT, get the hot, if you prefer mild, get the mild.
In a hurry and need to cook something that tastes like you went to a little trouble? Fry up some good quality meat and a little onion, then dump the whole lot into a pot ---with some firm, fresh vegetables if you'd like (carrot always is good, maybe cauliflower or broccoli, use your creative imagination to add some nice color and texture too), a little water, and the chunks of curry you'll find in the packet (they look like interconnected, moist, giant bullion cubes--use the whole packet, now--yes, the whole thing--for best flavor). While it's simmering away and thickening, fire up the rice cooker and make some nice, fluffy rice, and voila--a meat curry on rice, and people who've never had this stuff will believe you labored over a hot stove for hours.
I first encountered this "sauce" (it's more of a solid than a sauce when you buy it, it becomes a sauce when you cook it) in Japan, many years ago and was delighted that military commissaries carried it all over the world (as well as here in the USA)--the Japanese were mad for it, with good reason--it is incredibly convenient, it is tasty as all get out, and it does the trick if you like a ribsticking "curry gravy" meal in a short amount of time.

I love this stuff! I buy the medium because my husband doesn't like hot stuff, but this is the BEST. And it's convenient. You just chop itup and add it to water and when it boils...presto! Gravy. I just cook up some chicken cubes with a diced onion, add water and the sauce mix and boil, then toss in some julienned carrots and celery for color and serve over brown rice. I'm so happy I can get this on the internet because it's hard to find in the stores where I live...I've only found one store that sells it. Even my picky son loves it! :-D

Pataks Mild Curry Paste 10 Oz Review

Pataks Mild Curry Paste 10 Oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Patek's is my favorite curry paste--no MSG and simple ingredients. For a great, easy meal on an evening when you are too tired to make a curry from scratch, saute some onions, throw in a can of tomatoes, some water, and a few tablespoons of Patek's Mild Curry Paste, and then you can take it wherever you like it--meat, tofu, veggies--as your fancy strikes you.
Now this paste may say "mild," but there is still enough spice to make your mouth tingle pleasantly--just enough. When I serve Patek's mild, I take out some chicken or whatever before serving to my four-year-old--I don't think she could handle the "mild" spice level. Mom and Dad love it, though.
The downside is that one little jar does not go a long way. If you use the paste in the concentration that it calls for (and I recommend doing so, for an authentic Indian taste), you will get two or three dinners out of it. But for flavor and ease of use and sheer delight, you cannot beat Patek's. The guests you serve it to will be amazed--and you can hide your little jar in the refrig and bask in all that glory.
Amazon's cost is high for this item, at $5, but if convenience is important to you, then that's a consideration--having a powerful culinary secret delivered to your door might make the extra buck or two worth it. If you have time and are near an Asian/Indian foods store, then expect to pay $3 if you are lucky, or around $4 in most places. Stock up, because unopened, these last forever.

I've tried numerous types of curries from all sorts of different stores - Indian grocers, fancy overpriced grocery stores, spice stores, heck, even Walmart. But of all the different types of curry spice mix I've used over the years to make my vegetable curry, the S&B brand is the best.
Before I moved, I would drive an hour into downtown Pittsburgh to this grungy Asian food store to buy ten of these boxes at a time. However, since I left the area I haven't been able to find any store which sells S&B, so I'm particularly thrilled to see that Amazon has it available.
I know it's weird to get this excited over a spice, but I absolutely LOVE vegetable curry and I make it all the time, so I'm very happy I have a new source to purchase my favorite spice from.
Of course, I should mention that this is a JAPANESE curry blend, not Indian, so if you're looking for more traditional flavored curry, I'm not sure if my review would help. But personally, I think that this spice blend tastes the best. Use your own judgement.

Asian Home Gourmet Indian Korma Curry, (Mild), 1.75-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12) Review

I have tried several of the Asian Home Gourmet spice packets, and so far I have been pleased with them all. The Korma curry was fantastic. You just saute onions with some oil and the spice packets. Add your chicken and stir until it is browned, add water and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Finish off with some coconut cream or yogurt. When I mix yogurt into this dish (or any curry dish) I mix a bit of flour in with the yogurt. That keeps it from curdling. Give it a try. It is a smooth, mild curry.

Pataks Vindaloo Curry Paste 10 Oz Review

Pataks Vindaloo Curry Paste 10 Oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love Indian food. I own two Indian food cookbooks, but find the list of spices so daunting that I've never tried any of their recipes. I heard from a coworker that prepared Indian curry pastes were available at specialty stores, so I looked for them here at Amazon and was delighted to find Patak's curry pastes. The spice level is nice, for those of us who like our food hot and spicy, and you can always add more paste if you want more kick.
Here are the ingredients: Vegetable oil, cilantro, salt, tamarind, water, cumin, turmeric, chile pepper, ground ginger, garlic powder, maize flour, spices, acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid.
And here is a basic recipe from the label:
Shrimp Vindaloo, serves 2
1 medium onion, diced
2 tbsp vegetable oil
8 oz. fresh shrimp, peeled (or any other meat)
3/4 cup water
4 tbsp Patak's hot vindaloo curry paste
1/2 cup diced canned tomatoes
hot, cooked rice
Saute onion in oil. Add shrimp and saute until pink. Stir in curry paste and cook about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and water. Simmer, uncovered until the shrimp is cooked, about 5 minutes. Serve over hot, cooked rice.
I tried it with beef (which you'd never be able to order at an Indian restaurant) and simmered for 25 minutes, and it turned out pretty well. Not exactly restaurant quality, but very good for a prepared paste. I now keep Patak's paste and some tomatoes on hand, in case I want to whip up a quick, spicy dish using leftover roast chicken or beef. I look forward to trying the other Patak's pastes.

My husband and I love Patak's Tikka Masala cooking sauce (albeit with some tweaking involved), but we did not care for this korma sauce. We found it too sweet and not like the korma curries that we've tasted in Indian restaurants, and we eat Indian food quite often. There's a strong sweet flavor to this sauce which is not found in the korma dishes we've tasted. I guess I could tweak the recipe and add ingredients to minimize the overpowering sweetness but then I'd rather just cook the korma curry from scratch - the whole point of this sauce is to save time and fix an Indian curry with minimal fuss. I would not recommend this particular Patak sauce.

Patak's Rogan Josh Curry Cooking Sauce is disgusting. I made it for dinner and couldn't force myself to eat more than a few bites. It tasted nothing like Rogan Josh; the texture, color and flavor were all wrong. It didn't even taste like any kind of curry sauce. The jar I purchased indicated "medium", which I expected to indicate the heat/spiciness, but it was mild by any standard. It tasted like warm tomato paste. (I shook the jar, emptied the entire contents into the pan and followed the cooking instructions exactly.) You'll just have to take my word for it that I would not rate a mediocre product with one star; this was a truly dismal eating experience.

Both my husband and I love Indian food and though I enjoy cooking from scratch, there are times when my busy schedule gets in the way of cooking an entire Indian meal from scratch. A friend recommended the Patak sauces and I have tried a couple of them. This Tikka Masala sauce is quite good, BUT there is some tweaking involved. Like another reviewer mentioned, there is a strong vinegary taste and too much of a tomato taste to the sauce by itself. However, a couple of tweaks by way of adding extra ingredients will improve this taste.
I added a couple of tablespoonfuls of yoghurt to the mix as it is simmering, and either a tablespoonful of ghee (clarified butter) or butter/margarine will also enhance the flavor and minimize the strong vinegary taste. Also, the spice factor is described as medium on the label, but both my husband and I found it to be quite mild (this is subjective and will vary from one taste bud to another). I added some chili powder and that added some extra kick and spiciness to the dish.
This sauce can be used with chicken or shrimp, and also veggies such as green peas, potatoes, mushrooms etc. I serve it with raita (I use yoghurt,cucumber and tomatoes) and naan/chapati/rice. It tastes yummy and makes for a quick fix Indian meal without too much fuss!

Average Reviews:

I've used it three times so far and it was great all three times and it makes outstanding leftovers (I used 3 packets at once last time!). I added the spice packet two times but I wasn't all that thrilled with bitting into bits and pieces of the various parts while I ate. So the last time I made it I first started with the butter and added the spice packet (simmer according to instructions). Next I added 1.5 cups of water then I let this simmer.
Next I prepared the veggies. The first time I didn't use the lemon curd as instructed. The second time I did. The third time I used plain yogurt (6oz per packet). The lemon was my least favorite and the yogurt was my most favorite.
After about 30 minutes of simmering the spice packet (when the veggie prep was done) I strained the water/spice mix into the veggies. Then I followed the recipe to the end.
