Tikka sauce is not on the 'hot' scale of curries, definitely mild to medium,
although different companies make different blends.
I always find that a tikka sauce tastes of campbells tomato soup, once it's
in your head that that was one of the original ingredients, (Victorian
England) you just can't taste anything but tomato soup!
Like I said, different companies make different blends, and in the UK Lloyd
Grosman (spelling?) makes a really good one, but I'd go with the sweet &
sour (just cos I've had Italian style pasta dishes 3 times in the past 4
days!)
I don't think I've helped much, but have a great meal together!
