Did everyone have this in the 80s or was my mam weird?

No weirdness here. Along with mam's homemade curry we had a center plate of cut banana , apple chunks and sultanas and maybe 1 more fruit or might have been coconut flakes but can't remember. This stemmed from my Dad having spent 18 months at the end of the war going along the Indian coast on minesweeper duties, but there were loads of Indian nationals on the boat as regular seamen and this is how they made the curry go further , supposedly.

My wife is of Indian origin. She tells me they were a normal ingredient in her mother’s curries.

Think the school dinner "curry" always had them in.

60s.

Vesta Beef Curry. It was pobably regarded as adventurous in those days. They even showed you how to set it up on the plate, rice round the outside and curry in the middle.

Ive had them in a curry before, think it was a ping meal though. Not something that i like at all.

My mam's 1980s currys were onion fried up with roast chicken leftovers, tinned plum tomatoes, sultanas and curry powder. Soy sauce to go with the rice for some reason.

Thought I was in the presence of a supernatural alchemist the first time I went out for a proper one.

Chip shop curry should have them.

Our Mam's homemade chicken curry in the 70s used to be accompanied by sliced banana, chopped iceberg lettuce, chopped tomatoes and salted peanuts.
I remember the Vesta curries too, always ready in the cupboard for when I got in from the Stockton Arms.

Had curry at school in 80s. Was always the day before stew with some curry powder and sultans in.

My Nan used to bulk out everything with kidney beans including curries.

Always had them in my earliest introduction. Absolutely hate them.

Thank god that stopped! :)

I have never seen a curry with sultana’s in it, this sounds all a bit odd, although I do like Coronation Chicken sandwiches

They used to be in tinned curry in the 70s.

First thing I learned to 'cook' for my first tea when I was 8. First tea was straight after school, second tea was when mum and dad got home from work.

Heinz used to add sultanas to their curried beans
