local question for Indians, where are all the premixed curries in the supermarket? (sh.itjust.works)

Hello, I'm traveling in orissa right now and I'm looking for premixed curries i can buy to throw in a pot with water and make dinner with.

I've met plenty of locals and asked a few about instant or pre-mixed curries, but they all say that there's no such thing as premixed curries in india.

The strikes me as odd since instant curry is very common in every country with any sort of curry tradition I've been to and it seems like some company would have taken advantage of the market.

am I asking the wrong question?

I'm either not recognizing or haven't found any curry mixes yet.

are they not called curry?

should I be looking for something else?

thanks

okay, got it, thanks for the clarification.

I have a few different masalas, but I understand them to be seasoning powders rather than soup or curry mixes.

That's pretty interesting, I wonder why packaged curries aren't that popular here.

I will continue my hunt.

maybe curry isn't as popular in orissa itself, because all the restaurants I go to here have stir fry and fried food, biryani, but I don't see any curry options.
