Yeungs chinese curry mix powder is widely available - just add water and IMHO a few extra spices to get a reasonably good sauce

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.

I bought some a few weeks ago, deffo Aldi as there isn't a Lidl in the town I got it

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

How many tonnes do you want?

What is it with putting fruit/sultanas in chip shop curry ? I allways ask is it spicy or fruity.I was in a local chippy with kids and asked "is your curry sauce spicy or fruity ?" The lady said spicy Irish curry",fine.and it was.Decided to go again as was nice,even took Mrs for a treat.Who had to enquire "why it was called Irish curry?" Then too be shown the packet it came from with the words "made in Dublin "
Made me laugh anyway.

I sometimes Mayflower sauce which comes frozen in a bag. Chinese style but it might doo you. It's fairly spicy and no dried fruit in sight.

I’ve come over all queasy.

 

[Fab Foodie]

That looks like the real McCoy.

It is!
Sad fact is most chippies regardless of what they say, buy their batter and curry sauce from big foodservice companies.

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.

Those tubs of the solid paste concentrate are the closest I've had at least to takeaway curry sauce. They sell em in Chinese, and various Indian versions but they all just taste like generic chip shop curry to me.

chips are a waste of katsu curry sauce.

• 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tbs Non diary Spread (or butter)
• 2 tsp Soy Sauce
• 2 tsp Chili Sauce (or more to taste)

• 1 tsp Lemon Juice (optional)

Instructions

4. Place the reminder of the cornflour in a small bowl and add a few spoons of the stock to it. Mix well. Add to the pan of sauce, stirring well.

6. With a gentle simmer the sauce will rapidly thicken. If it thickens to much add a little water.
7. Serve immediately with chips as a dip, or use for a curry sauce.

Recipe Notes
Season to your taste with extra curry or chilli.

The Chinese Five Spice blend is what gives the sauce that authentic takeaway Chinese Curry Sauce note - it is subtle, but very necessary.

It is really important to keep stirring and scraping the sides and bottom of the pan when making this, or you can en up with gelatinous lumps in your sauce. If this happens simply pass it though a fine mesh sieve.
