What the AI looks for in Curry Sauce
- Format
- Choose roux block, paste or jarred simmer sauce to match how much cooking you want to do. A paste needs coconut milk and aromatics added, while a simmer sauce is ready to use.
- Cuisine
- Japanese, Thai and Indian curries are not interchangeable. The base, spices and texture are fundamentally different.
- Heat label
- Check the mild, medium or hot designation on roux and simmer sauces. The same line varies a lot in heat.
Brands that matter
- S&B: Japanese curry roux.
- House Foods: Makes the Vermont Curry and Java Curry roux lines.
- Maesri: Thai curry pastes.
- Patak's: Indian sauces and pastes.
What to avoid
- Thai curry paste used without coconut milk, which tastes harsh and salty.
