Best place to get chips with curry sauce in ED??

[ThinLizzy]

...It has come to it again oh yes, I am living like a proper student once more SO...

where is the best place to get chips with curry sauce in the 'hood?

[HAL9000]

Bisto has just brought out granules called something like Chip Shop Curry Sauce - so DYI!

HTH

[ThinLizzy]

Fabulous! I didn't know :) I will look for it, thanks!x

[HonaloochieB]

I think the nearest place is Leeds.

[muffins78]

Oh great - I want to try that - you cannot get any decent curry sauce here!! I do make homemade curry sauce - but it never tastes the same each time, I guess thats because I dont measure anything - but its better than some of the "gravy" like sauces out there :)

Cant wait to try it!!

[SteveT]

When I was a lad we were grateful to have mushy peas poured over your bag of chips, a sixpenny mix.

[ratty]

has thou got nowt moist?

[coopercat]

Chips from the chip shop. Curry Sauce from the local Chinese - Eat together!

[muffins78]

Its not the same - I cant find a takeaway anywhere, where the curry sauce doesnt have a good hint of gravy taste!!

The nearest I can get if its not in Chinatown - is wagamama's curry sauce...

[Annasfield]

That granule stuff you can get from the supermarket is the closest you'll get to proper chip shop curry down here.

I wonder if there is a parallel thread to this on the Leeds forum?

"Does anyone know where to get some decent Focaccia? I've failed to find any since I moved up from London."

"Nearest place is East Dulwich etc."

Can you tell I'm a Northern lass then?! *well, Northampton, does that still qualify??*

Stuck with what I had at home last night, but will try the shop stuff

I had Chips and Curry Sauce from a Chinese takeaway on Northcross road (top end, after crossing over Crystal Palace Rd) -- they were pretty delicious, although the chips were a bit skinny

-- oops, my home isn't a Chinese takeaway off the Northcross rd ...this was a couple of weeks back!!

Chips+gravy/curry= very very wrong.Squared.

Oooh yes -- I come from the place where, if on a map, you put one finger on the Severn Estuary, one finger on the wash, and move them inland at the same speed, they will eventually fall right on my home town (where the aliens landed, almost!)

Exactly, you should have some mushy peas with that combo too.

[muffins78]

Noooooo.....mushy peas :(

Curry Sauce only!! Or a chip butty with mayo - yummy...

[muffins78]

I have bought the bisto stuff today - verdict to follow very soon :)

[Tolly]

Heinz sell one ready made up in a bottle. It's alright but lacks the chip shop charm.

[cook1e]

[Sharon_H]

Great stuff, I'm a curry and chips girl myself.

Thanks for trying it out.

Alright,

If your looking for authentic chip shop curry sauce to make at home, what you need to do is go down to the Chinese super market in Peckham, or the one by Camberwell green and get hold of some of this stuff:

or something similar. It is BOSS and lasts for ages. Recipie: put about half a pint of hot water in a pan, heat and add curry paste until the desired taste and consistency are achieved.
