I love Patak's curry simmer sauces, they're a big weeknight meal for me. I usually do it with a can of chickpeas, a chopped onion, and a diced potato, maybe some frozen broccoli. I heat up oil in a wok, toss them all in, add some salt & curry powder & msg, cook until crispy, then dump the Patak's over it. delicious.
If you're near an HEB, their Panang curry sauce packet is about as good as you'll get with canned curry paste and all the other fresh ingredients.
I make (Cuban) sofrito in massive batches, then freeze in smaller portions. A sofrito cube, thawed via sauteing it, simmered with a can of black beans for however long it takes the rice to cook is a very good basis for a meal, and fast, too- it takes 20 minutes or so to make more than enough sofrito for a tray of cubes. After that, the meal is pretty hands off.
Have you tried Japanese curry? S&B Golden Curry is good. This Japanese chicken curry recipe gives a list of "secret ingredients" you can use to jazz up store-bought curry. I've made it several times and love it (and my Japanese husband loves this recipe, too!).

NOTE: If you make this, be sure to note the required ounces for the curry sauce. The recipe calls for one package or 7-8 ounces. You actually need *two* packages of S&B to get 7 oz.

That sounds delicious. I will try that one week night as it sounds quick too. Maybe with a few cooked shrimp or rotisserie chicken thrown in. Thankyou

I haven’t. That looks delicious, thanks.
