WEBVTT - TNC Review: Packet Curry Sauces 0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:04.000 Is your favorite takeaway meal at Indian Curry? Do you 0:00:04.080 --> 0:00:06.520 love whipping up a Tika masala in your kitchen like 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:09.960 Master Chef? There is a growing range of curry sauces 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:12.960 in the supermarkets, and today we are going to review 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:16.880 two popular Tika masala sauces just for you. Hi, I'm 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:19.320 Susie Burrow and I'm Leanne Wood, and we bring you 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:22.239 the Nutrition Couch, a bye weekly chat on everything you 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:25.400 can find in the supermarket and our very honest reviews 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:30.320 of some of our listeners much loved products. So Leanne Curry, 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.240 is it your favorite order when you get some cheeky 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:34.080 uber eats? 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:36.080 No, I just I always feel sick after eating it, 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:37.239 and I think it's because I have a little bit 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.200 of a sensitive gut. I just find it very very rich. However, 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.600 David loves Indian like as a cuisine into order, so 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:45.440 he gets very upset because I never let him have it. 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.200 Whenever we go and you get some reats, I always 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:49.760 be too hones saying we're not having that because I 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:51.440 can't eat it and I'll feel sick tomorrow and you'll 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.440 have to deal with me tomorrow. So the poor guy 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.080 probably hasn't had Indian takeaway in years. But I do 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.000 like that there are a growing range of sort of 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.120 sources where you can make your own at home. You 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:01.960 can sort of balance it out a little bit more. 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.960 But this curry is something that you love? Is it 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:06.520 a go to in your household? SUSI? 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.600 Oh, it's so funny because when I was growing up, 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.640 my parents would routinely have curry nights, so they would 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.960 have their friends over. They would have the little bowls 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.760 of coconut and banana and pumpams. It was a massive 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:20.160 social occasion. And I have to be honest, I'm a 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.520 very plain eater, as I've shared before. I like, really, 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.479 you know, a piece of salmon and vegetables. I don't 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.560 mind like a tie kind of curry, but it's certainly 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.360 something I don't make regularly at home. But like you, 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.600 my husband loves it, and as soon as he gets 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.880 my parents around her, if I'm not here, they will 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:38.800 always whip out for a curry. So I'm a bit 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.560 of the limiting factor. We won't disagree, but we should 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.560 say that we know you guys listening love this because 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:46.960 when Lee and I said to Leana, we really doing 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.080 curry and she said, yeah, it's really popular. We've had 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.800 several requests for it, so it's our job to bring 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.640 you the information. So we've got two pre made sources 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.840 in the supermarket because we know you guys enjoy it. 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.840 So the first one we're going to talk about today 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.880 is that. And if I'm pronouncing these names wrong, please 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.640 forgive me, am I saying it correct? Per Tax Is 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.600 that right? I think it's yeah, Pa Tax, I think 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.560 pat tax and Tika masala. That's how you say it, 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:12.000 isn't it. 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:13.080 Yeah, I'm pretty sure. 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.239 So this is a source found just in the supermarket. 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.239 It's actually made in the UK, which is interesting because 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.440 one of my best friends is from the UK and 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.239 she also loves a curry, so it probably doesn't surprise 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.040 me so much to see one of these products comes 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.000 from overseas. So if we look at the ingredients, the 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.600 first ingredients water tomatoes fifteen percent, yoga five percent, so 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.400 on the whole, it's even starting out looking pretty clean, 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:39.400 some concentrated tomato, pure vegetable oil, cream, may starch, and 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.080 then it goes down into a lot of spices and thickness, 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:45.280 which admittedly will be in very small amounts given that 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.840 the next ingredient's only fifteen percent tomatoes and five percent yogurt. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.919 It's very low in calories, leanne you know, per serve. 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.240 It says, is it one serve per jar? 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:54.560 Know? 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:55.440 How much is that jar? 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:56.200 Three? 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.720 Four serves per jar? Just under one hundred calories, one 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.240 point protein, only five point three grams of fat coming 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.720 from a little bit of the yogurt and cream, but 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:09.520 still low in saturated fat. Eight point one grams of carbohydrate, 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.200 four point five grams of sugars, which I hastened to 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.480 say it would be mainly from the tomatoes. Is that 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.560 ingredient sodium? 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.079 There's a little bit of added sugar a little. 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.080 Bit not so much though, because that's cream three percent, 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.440 so the main starts going to come in under three percent. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:28.160 So overall pretty low. Three one hundred and thirty milligrams 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.800 of sodium, which is an insignificant for that smaller portion. 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:32.920 But really this hasn't got a huge amount in it 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.640 other than a bit of tomatoes and spices, so on 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.120 the whole, you know, I think that it doesn't really 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.640 contain so much at all. I don't think there's anything 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.480 really wrong with it. If a client brought that to me, 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.320 I wouldn't have any real concerns with it. I don't know, 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.680 what do you think. Maybe I'm not taking the sauces 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:50.520 seriously enough. I just would say to them, it doesn't 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.240 have really much in it. And if you're using it 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:56.000 as serves four as described on the label, there wouldn't 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:57.760 be an issue. But if you started to make it 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.960 serves just too you'd be getting a fe whacka sodium. 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.600 But if you're doing it with lean meat and some brown, 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.680 hopefully brown whole grain rice, you know it's adding some flavor. 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:10.680 Sure it could be a little bit cleaner, but on 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:12.360 the whole, there's not a whole lot wrong with it. 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:13.320 I don't know what do you think? 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.720 And I think this is quite amusing because when I 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.800 put these two products together, Susie, I actually chose to 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.440 pattas one as the quote unquote bad one. I didn't 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.200 even really read the nutrition. I just grabbed it off 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:23.880 the shop. I thought, I'll try this and then I'll 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:25.560 I'll pop it up there. And I'm sure that you 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:29.680 know it looks too sort of decadent to be like healthy, 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.640 if that makes sense. So it's actually a really good option, 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.159 and it's quite I sort of chose it as the 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.000 one where I'm like, no, there's definitely a better option 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.680 on the market, and the second one we're reviewing that 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.560 from a marketing perspective, you would look at the front 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.360 and pack label and that and say, you know, that's 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.520 the better option, or that's a lower calorie option, that's 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.320 a cleaner option. And so I actually find it quite 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.440 amusing that this is actually not a bad option. So 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.400 I'd be more than happy for my clients to use 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:51.960 something like this, as you said, with a bit of 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.200 whole grains or legumes to bulk it out, some lean 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.240 protein and a ton of edgies. I think where we 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.600 would run into problems if we're just doing this with 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.119 some you know, chicken thie with some meat or something 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.440 and white rice and then maybe a little sprinkle of 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.599 you know, I don't know, some broccoli or something on side. 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.039 That's where we'd run into troubles if we're not using 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:09.680 it as part of a balanced meal. So I really 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.440 do feel like it comes down to what you pair 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.600 it with. But this as a source in terms of 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.000 something that you might get you make this yourself at 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.640 home versus you ordering in like an Indian curry. This 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.760 would be a lot healthier and a lot better long term, 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.520 I think, particularly because a lot of our Indian takeaway 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.279 is quite westernized in Australia as well. It's not like 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.360 what you would get if you went to Indian ordered 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.280 sort of a dicker missile lot up the street. It's 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:32.919 definitely not the same thing. I think a lot of 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.000 times in restaurants we use a hell of a lot 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.080 more oil and yogurt and cream in them. Whereas I 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.400 like the top two ingredients in this water tomatoes followed 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.920 by yogurt. It's not you know, vegetable oil or cream 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:45.960 at the top, which I think is really really important. 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.280 And I think that's why I actually don't tolerate take 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.640 away you know Indian that well, Susie is because it 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:52.719 is so high and fat and it is so greasy. 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.200 I just don't digest or do well with too much fat. 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.360 So I actually think this is quite a good product, 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:58.760 And as you said, it would add a lot of 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:00.760 flavor to meals, and if you didn't want to make 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:02.279 it into more of a curry, you could just choose 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.479 like maybe a tablespoon if there's over the top of 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.599 some veggies, just to get a little bit of extra flavor. 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.359 I think that would go down really well as well. 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.840 And one of the most common questions I have when 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:12.960 I've seen a new client is what can I put 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.640 on my vegetables to flavor them up? And my general 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.120 rule of thumb is I don't care what you add 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.680 to the vegetables as long as you eat them, So 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.560 you're absolutely right. I'd be very happy if people were 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.240 using this kind of sauce to flavor out vegetables, and 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.160 I couldn't agree more. My biggest feedback to clients when 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.880 talking about Indian cuisine is the quality of the protein, 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.640 so making sure it is chicken breast, for example, not 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:36.960 the fatty chicken thigh or drumsticks, or in the case 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.800 of having things with it, you know, if you're having 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.920 potatoes plus pomp and ms plus white rice, it's all 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.359 processed carbohydrate, whereas if you can stick to the veggie 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.480 based carbs are a very small amount of brown rice, 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.160 it will improve the overall profile of that meal. But 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.760 I'm just having a quick look at these sources, Lee 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.920 and because again I'm not overly familiar. This retail is 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.120 at about four dollars. It's on sale this week at 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.800 Willis when we're recording Pajar. But you do have to 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.600 be careful because I'm just having a look now at 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:07.039 one of the other popular products, which is the butter chicken. 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.560 I know butter chickens very popular, and when I look 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.200 this is the same brand. When I look at this 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:15.280 nutritional the first ingredients water followed by vegetable GE. So 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.280 for me, that's a big concern because ge is going 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.480 to give a high saturated fat, so that's coming in 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.960 at four gram saturated perserve. So I would certainly be 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.400 opting for products like this Ticka Masala which is a 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.200 vegetable based rather than a fat base. And that's probably 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.240 another take home message for people when you're buying pre 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:36.000 made sauces, particularly that a curry or Indian flavor, making 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.600 sure you're choosing the veggie based options rather than ones 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.480 that have that creamy base, because that inevitably will be 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.600 adding a lot of saturated fat, as is the case 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.680 with this one that's the butter chicken compared to the 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.400 Ticka Masala, which is the tomato based. So it does 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.200 pay to have a quick scan of that ingredient list 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.200 and just make sure you're getting more of the veggies 0:07:56.280 --> 0:08:00.160 rather than the fat which can be very present in Indian. 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:02.720 And definitely and just from an allergen perspectives to wrap 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.200 us up, this one is green light for our Celiacs, 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.440 no detectabile gutin. But it does obviously contain milk because 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.040 it does have that yogurt and cream in there as well, 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.760 So not a vegan based option, but is okay from 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.400 our Celiac point of view. And there's an allergen statement 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.680 maybe present tree nuts, so that's just something to be 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.960 aware of as well if you have allergens in the family. 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.400 And so the second product we're looking at is one 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.000 of the more boutique products. It's not in a japers say, 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.880 they're in the pouches, and certainly in Asian cuisine we 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.360 see the pouches, which we would want to say, as 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.040 a rule of thumber slightly better nutritionally, but not always. 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.320 This is the spice tailor, again I haven't seen it myself, 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.920 which is called the original Tika Masala, so a direct 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.040 comparison to a product, this one comes from India. The 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:50.760 first ingredient is thirty five percent onion, twenty seven percent tomato, 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:56.079 pure milk, curd, water, some flowl oil, butter, rice, flour, garlic, salt, ginger, 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.720 red chili powder, cashew nuts, and then a whole lot 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.960 of spice. Is very similar to the per tax one. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:02.280 We've just had a look out. There's a lot of 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.840 ingredients on here. When I have a look at the 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.760 nutritionals per hundred grams serve one hundred and fifty calories, 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.440 two point two grams of protein, eight point seven grams 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.400 of fat, says per serving hundred Yeah, so a bit 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.160 higher in fat this one. Saturated fats still less than 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.280 three percent at two point three seven point six grams 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.040 of sugar, again not insignificant, one point six grams of 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.720 fiber and six hundred and twenty milligrams of sodium. So 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.360 I think for Melian it's reasonably similar. If I had 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:36.360 to choose nutritionally one I prefer, I probably would slightly 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.880 err towards the per tax one. But given it's kind 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.480 of the same product, it's sort of splitting hairs, I 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.360 think this one's probably more expensive. That we have a 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.800 quick chat it is. Yeah, have you tried have you 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:48.559 tried this brand before? In any product? 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.439 I've tried both, and I honestly think I think the 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.400 taste is fairly similar. I actually think the pa tax 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.200 gives a little bit of a better mouthfeel. So because 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.000 it is a it's cheaper, but it is lower in 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.679 overall fat content and lower in overall salaries, and I 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:02.959 personally think it had a better taste and a better mouthfeel. 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.559 I would actually lean more towards the pa tax one, 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.400 which really surprises me because I really thought that I would. 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:10.800 I would sort of go over more the Splice tailor 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.160 one because, as you said, generally, in terms of pouches, 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.280 you can see the visible herbs and splices in there, 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:16.640 so it looks like a lot more of a whole 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.960 food based product. But when you actually look at the 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.000 ingredients and the nutrition facts, and really comes down to 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.160 is that actually they're quite similar products. So from a 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.680 price and a lower calorie perspective, I would probably go 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.240 more for the Patax one if I was being honest, 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:30.920 and I think it did taste slightly, but they were 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.120 both quite enjoyable if I was being honest, They both 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:34.160 had really nice flavors. 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.800 This one, you're right, This retails for two dollars more, 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.560 almost six dollars per serve versus the Pertax, which is 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.880 only four for four serves. This is two to three 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:44.839 serves per pack. I'm just having a look at another 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.040 one in the range to see if it's the same situation, 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.480 and the creamy ones are the ones to kind of avoid. 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.480 But yeah, I think the first one is slightly better. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.760 But I think the other take home message is that 0:10:55.800 --> 0:11:00.000 we get a lot of questions about package sauces because 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.440 I think we sort of put a sweeping statement that, 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.400 you know, we shouldn't be using packet sources at all 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.200 and their process. Now, I think for ease, if you 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.880 had to go lean and buy every one of those 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:16.360 ingredients that's required to make a delicious ticker masala, I 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.640 would hasten to guess that that's going to cost at 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.240 least thirty dollars by the time you buy the fresh 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:26.240 produce all of those individual spices, without even considering the 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.679 protein and the carbohydrates required, you know you're looking at 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.880 a good at least twenty, if not closer to thirty 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.480 dollars spend. I would estimate now for the average person 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.040 with the weekly budget, it's not feasible to be spending 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.840 thirty plus dollars per meal unless it's a special occasion. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.679 So I think in the case of budget reasons ease convenience, 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.720 certainly there's When it comes to packet sources, there are 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.559 some really good options, and I think the best message 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.280 with it is looking for ones that are relatively low 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.480 and saturated fat. Seek out ones that have as little 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.920 added sugar as possible. So we like to aim for 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:03.160 around less than five grad of sugars perserve, and you know, 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.880 use them to flavor up healthier meals, you know, use 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:07.600 loads of veggies and things with them, and then there's 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:09.720 nothing to feel guilty or be worried about using a 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:14.120 packet sauce. And if we're comparing preparing a chicken masala 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.800 at home, a tick a masala at home versus something 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.599 you would order in, you will always be better nutritionally 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.000 to make it yourself. And if that means using a 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.440 packet sauce, admittedly trying to seek out the best one 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.840 that's there, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Nutritionally, 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.560 you don't, you know, fare better because you've made everything 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:34.800 from scratch. If anything, strategically, you are going to be 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.560 much better to invest in the more vegetables in there. 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.679 In a leaner chicken or protein sauce than being worried 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.040 about a little bit of processed sauce being added to 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.160 make that flavor that meal up. So I have no 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.679 concerns with packet sauces, but my general feedback to clients 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.800 is avoid the ones that are creamy. Or when you 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.360 look at the ingredient lists, have vegetable oil as one 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.160 of the first ingredients, and you'll be on the right 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:57.319 track definitely. 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:58.960 And I think if you're a real fooder, you'll probably 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:00.880 have them. Bulk of these is at home in your 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.360 pantry anyway, so probably wouldn't cost you too much if 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.320 you had the time and you really enjoyed it. Of course, 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.960 making it from scratch is probably slightly better. And of 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.000 course I think the sodium content's the biggest thing to 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.360 be wary of. When we look at these two brands, Susie, 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.560 we break down the sodium content. The per tax is 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.280 only nearly three hundred milligrams per hundred grams, or is 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.040 the spice tailor one is six hundred and twenty per 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.480 hundred grams, So it's got more than double the sodium, 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:27.080 So it's more expensive product, it's higher calorie, it's double 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.320 the amount of sodium in it, and it only serves 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.320 three compared to the pattax which does four serves, and 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:33.839 so I think you're going to make it stretch a 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.920 little bit more for lower calorie and also for a 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.320 lot lower sodium content. So I think for me that 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.280 one's the winner overall. Or you can do it yourself, 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:43.800 as you said, but it really does take a long 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.000 time in the kitchen. So I definitely wouldn't even hesitate 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.840 to use something like this in a home made meal 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.040 because I would much rather prefer to do it myself 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:52.960 and enjoy it and make it the way I would like, 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.760 versus ordering in something from Uberots which isn't going to 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:57.079 make me feel great at the end of the day. 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.320 And as we talked about, Western style curries are much 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.120 higher in than doing it yourself. 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.960 Very true, But in the meantime, enjoy your homemade Indian 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.320 We look forward to seeing some of your images if 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:08.760 you want to send them through, and we'll share them 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.560 on our Instagram.
