Same deal with Patak's sauces in Indian restaurants in the UK nowadays, unfortunately.


We have those sauces in jars available on the shelf at my local grocer (Safeway, Bay Area, US). Bastardized or not, they are tasty.


Apparently it's the pastes which are used:

It's a shame, because a lot of the dishes have lost a lot of their subtlety and especially regional variation.


Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. They are a bit bland and more salty as compared with properly done from-scratch versions of the sauces, marinades, and sautés, but they're not too bad.
