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

    They are right, kind of. There is no such thing as “pre-mixed curries”. I would recommend finding some food using grocery delivery apps like BigBasket or Blinkit. You will find lots of options for food which you can throw in a pot with water and cook. Give me a short while, and I’ll see if I can share any links.

    Edit - Rajma (kidney beans) ready to cook. Yellow dal and rice, ready to cook.

    You can also show the shopkeepers these items and ask them for any similar product.
