A couple of nights ago I served chicken with Patak’s Tikka Masala simmering sauce which I bought at Cost Plus ($3.50 for a 15 oz jar, enough for 1 lb chicken and 2 1/2 people). It was OK but it didn’t taste at all like tikka masala. Mostly it tasted like other generic jarred or frozen Indian curries. Its main ingredient was oil, so it’s very fatty (but it gave a wonderfully tender consistency to the chicken), followed by lemon juice, so it’s also very sour. I don’t feel any compelling reason to buy it again.
