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

I believe it. Even one seller to the next, that brown morning curry soup tastes very different, like their spice mixtures are completely personalized.

Yeah, most things like that in India aren't made from mixes, but rather each cook individually adding each spice.

experiment 1:

chili paneer.

I've been making a lot of paneer stir fry lately, so I'm glad I finally tried a curry.
