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

no problem, thanks. I've tried the ready to eat meals.

I assumed curries would be separately sold as well.

are Indian curries quick to make from scratch?

okay, just looked it up. I might just try making the curries like this.

Japan and Thailand have tons of instant curry products on sale because it takes so long for them to make their traditional curries.
