Find out who won... Morrisons Better For You Tikka Masala Sauce With it's "sweet & sour like" flavour and pleasantly spicy aftertaste, Morrisons' sauce was strong enough to claim first place in a hotly contested tasting. Carrying the most fat but packing the punch to back it up. Per 112g Serving Per 100g CALORIES 89kcal 79kcal CARBS 10.5g 9.4g FAT 4.4g 3.9g SODIUM 0.3g 0.3g PROTEIN 1.6g 1.4g FIBRE 1.0g 0.9g Asda Less Than 5% Fat Tikka Masala Cooking Sauce A good all-rounder which impressed most people. An appetising smell, creamy and mild texture and a well balanced flavour. The tomatoey taste may be too sweet for some but the highest calorie product has made the most of them all. Per ½ Jar Serving Per 100g CALORIES 615kcal 93kcal CARBS 21.0g 13.0g FAT 5.0g 3.4g SODIUM 0.5g 0.3g PROTEIN 4.3g 2.7g FIBRE 1.1g 0.7g Homepride 96% Fat Free Tikka Masala Sauce Nothing subtle about this one. Straight out of the jar; thicker, darker and meaner looking. Brings a hot, spicy flavour and lots of it. Pulls no punches. Per 1/3 Jar Serving Per 100g CALORIES 121kcal 81kcal CARBS 15.1g 10.0g FAT 5.4g 3.6g SODIUM 0.7g 0.5g PROTEIN 3.1g 2.1g FIBRE 3.2g 2.1g Waitrose Perfectly Balanced Tikka Cooking Sauce Described by one of the team as looking "fierce" and this gradually made more sense. An overpowering coriander presence, and very spicy aftertaste lurking in the low calorie ratings, intimidated the judging. Per 1/3 Jar Serving Per 100g CALORIES 99kcal 69kcal CARBS 11.9g 8.3g FAT 4.6g 3.2g SODIUM 0.26g 0.18g PROTEIN 2.4g 1.7g FIBRE 2.4g 1.7g Sainsbury's BGTY Tikka Cooking Sauce At the other end of the scale, BGTY didn't put up much of a fight. Watery in looks and texture this relied on spice for what little flavour it had. The lowest in fat, a true lightweight sauce. Per 1/4 Jar Serving Per 100g CALORIES 92kcal 74kcal CARBS 16.1g 12.9g FAT 2.4g 1.9g SODIUM 0.4g 0.3g PROTEIN 1.5g 1.2g FIBRE 0.4g 0.3g Marks & Spencer Count On Us Tikka Masala Sauce This was 'unique' in the taste test. A distinctive pouch instead of a jar. Strange, gravy-like smell and thin, soupy texture. A weak and watery taste. Singled out by the team for last place. Per ½ Jar Serving Per 100g CALORIES 85kcal 55kcal CARBS 13.1g 8.7g FAT 3.0g 2.0g SODIUM 0.15g 0.1g PROTEIN 3.5g 2.3g FIBRE 3.2g 2.1g Conclusion The feeble Be Good To Yourself and Marks & Spencer sauces failed to curry favour with the judges, who were generally pleased by the standard of the competition.   Of the rest, extra calories and fat content did seem to pay off for flavour, with Asda & Morrisons fighting it out for top spot.     Contact Us Free Trial Membership Newsletter Privacy Help Press Office Site Map	FIND LOW FAT FOOD Calorie and nutritional information for 21,000 foods Email this page Print this page Try It Free You can use the tools in Weight Loss Resources to look up the calorie and fat content of over 40,000 foods.
