How Many Syns In Patak’s Curry Paste?
Slimming World followers (and consultants) generally tell you to steer clear of store bought jar sauces! I however am not scared of using them, especially curry pastes! They add so much flavour to a dish without using too many Syns.
Why Do Jar Curry Pastes Have Syns?
Sadly jar sauces and pastes are made with a lot of oil alongside the herbs and spices. This means they have to be synned.. but I find they taste so much better than trying to go it alone.
But my theory is, you are usually making a curry to serve more than one person. The Syns are spread out, and as long as you use Syn free ingredients alongside the paste you are not breaking too many Syn barriers!
