A couple of premade Indian sauces. Butter chicken and tika masala. Good flavor and spice amount. Yes spicy in Germany.
Just add your protein. I also add onion, potato cubes and sometimes bell peppers. Serve over rice.
They help me cut my meat amounts for health, mine and earth, and cost.
Are there any that you have tried and liked in the US?.
I'm heading back for a month and might be doing some cooking.

(3,531 posts)I do prefer shopping in stores to Amazon. I have to be careful of where the products come from to avoid international shipping. I can get hammered by taffifs and VAT.
I am old enough to remember how bad canned sauces were.

(22,767 posts)I was living in a metropolitan city with lots of international residents due to the presence of a major university. I was single and, even though I knew how, didn't cook much at the time (I'd have dinner parties just for the opportunity to cook), so I'd buy prepared peanut sauce (not a big fan of curries.)
When I got married over 25 years ago and moved to a rural area of a very whitebread red state, there were no decent ethnic restaurants or even fare offered in the groceries. I had no choice but to learn to make anything that would be considered exotic here. None are very difficult, so even though things have changed here quite a bit with availability, haven't used any kind of prepared sauces since.

I'm not fond of Pataks, maybe because I have that cilantro gene, and they use lot of it:
