Actually if you want to cheat, Wing Yip's concentrataed chinese curry sauce in a jar is spot on. It makes a fantastic curry with some chicken, mushroom and onion added to it. I buy mine from sainsburys.

Maysan Original Curry is also very similar to a Chinese curry, you can buy it in hot, medium or mild (i prefer the mild). It's concentrated, so you can use as much or as little as you wish. Just cook your ingredients & make up the curry and add & simmer. You can get this curry in fresh fish shops, fruit shops & butchers - though I've never seen it in the supermarkets

Try Mayflower Curry Sauce Mix from Morrison's. 99p and it does about 8 portions. You add water, simmer it or microwave it then add your meat and veg. I do this for the kids after school for a dead quick snack to shut them up.
