Patak's - Simmer Sauce Vindaloo Spicy 15oz

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I shared this with a friend, so I'll include their review as well. I made this in 25min, very quick and easy. The only reason it took 25min instead of 15 was because the rice took 25min. I used frozen vegetables and fake (plant-based) beef tips. And it was delicious. It is mild. But my friend who is much more spice sensitive said the spice crept up on them. I agree, but it didn't bother me. It also took getting to the halfway point in the meal for the spice (hot) to build enough on me to feel it. My friend had been about a 1/3 in before they started having trouble with the spice level. So beware, if you have an extremely spice (hot) averse person, the heat builds in this. I liked it throughout, as did my friend. But someone very averse might have their palate burned out. We both liked the flavor, it went well with the vegetable mix (onions, peppers, baby corn, snap peas, broccoli, baby bok choy, carrots) & fake beef. It was bright (as I would expect from a tomato based sauce), good and complex flavor, not too salty, and overall I would highly recommend.
