Hello, I'm traveling in orissa right now and I'm looking for premixed curries i can buy to throw in a pot with water and make dinner with.

I've met plenty of locals and asked a few about instant or pre-mixed curries, but they all say that there's no such thing as premixed curries in india.

The strikes me as odd since instant curry is very common in every country with any sort of curry tradition I've been to and it seems like some company would have taken advantage of the market.

am I asking the wrong question?

I'm either not recognizing or haven't found any curry mixes yet.

are they not called curry?

should I be looking for something else?

thanks

Not in India, but I looked it up, and these seem to exist over there: https://www.jiomart.com/p/groceries/mtr-ready-to-eat-mix-vegetable-curry-300-g/490081395.

Maybe try looking for these MTR ready to eat curries in a reliance supermarket if there are some around.

Also, ordering from a restaurant - even with delivery - is really cheap in India. To the point that getting fresh food delivered to your door can be more economical than buying a premixed curry. I would check the Zomato or Swiggy delivery apps.

Exactly. Although I personally really hate how oily Indian restaurants make stuff. Indian home food n restaurant food truly are completely different things altogether.
