This Costco coconut curry sauce is really quite spicy with a nice coconut flavor!
Today I’m reviewing this Costco KFI Coconut Curry cooking sauce. I’ve previously reviewed another KFI product from Costco, the Butter Chicken Sauce and really enjoyed it so when I saw Costco was carrying this coconut curry sauce I wanted to try it and review it.
Another similar product from Costco is the Mayura Cuisine Tikka Masala Sauce. I’ve also reviewed the Rao’s Marinara Sauce which is one of my favorite items from Costco as well as the Bulls-Eye Barbecue Sauce that we enjoy using for pulled pork or barbecue.
You can find the KFI Coconut Curry cooking sauce at Costco in the aisle with the oils and other sauces. The item number is 2149329.
Taste
This was too spicy for me but my husband who can handle heat a lot better than I can enjoyed it. You can definitely taste the coconut but it’s not super coco-nutty if you know wha I mean, just a pleasant coconut flavor.
There’s a bit of sweetness and noticeable acidity coming from the tomato base. If you look and taste hard enough you will find that there’s bits of shredded coconut in the cooking sauce that adds some texture to your dish!
Cost
For two 650 mL jars I paid $9.99 Canadian which isn’t bad, one jar can make a ton of curry.
Convenience
I wanted to do a vegetarian curry so I didn’t use any chicken. One jar serves five to six individuals and the recipe is to heat two tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat, add three chicken breasts that have been cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Stir fry for 10 minutes or until fully cooked and then add a jar of coconut curry sauce and summer for five minutes.
This is perfect for a quick & easy dinner. If you don’t use all of your coconut curry sauce you need to refrigerate the leftover sauce and it should be used within about a week.
Nutrition
1/6th of the jar is 130 calories, nine grams of fat, 11 grams of carbohydrates, two grams of fibre, four grams of sugar, one gram of protein and 830 mg of sodium. That’s a lot of sodium! The entire jar has almost 5000 mg of sodium in it. The fat content is also quite high but that’s to expected with whipping cream and coconut milk as ingredients listed.
This isn’t dairy free or vegan like the coconut green curry is at my local takeout place because it contains whipping cream. There is some sugar added but that is normal to see in curry.
Scoring
Taste: 7/10
Cost: 8/10

Overall
Give it a try!
This was too spicy for me but if you’re someone who can handle heat in their curry and likes coconut you might really enjoy this.

BRING BACK THIS SAUCE!
When I try samples at Costco, I tend to purchase the item. Somethings are strange or unfamiliar to me and I will not buy unless I know what it is or how it tastes.
LOVED this KFI Coconut Curry Sauce. Please bring this back in stock.
Loved this sauce and can’t find it at Costco now. So frustrating. Tried a few grocery stores and nada. If anyone know where it can be purchased I would love to get some more.
Love this sauce! I decided to try it because another customer in the store was raving about it. Now I can’t find it. Please bring it back!
Can’t find it at Costco anymore. Where can I get some
They used to carry this sauce but have replaced it with this.. https://www.costcuisine.com/post/costco-kfi-vindaloo-cooking-sauce-review
2 jars for $9.99 and cheaper when on sale.
I don’t rarely buy pre-made anything but it was on sale so…..
This is my favorite sauce right now and super convenient.
I saute a few onions, cook 3/4 cup of dried black beans, throw in extra tofu, and add the whole jar of sauce.
Served over rice and topped with broccoli. Do what ever you like!
Yes, it is a little spicy but very tasty.
I bought it at Costco (Ajax) on a promotion of $10 for 3 bottles. It was spicy but this can easily be tamed with a little cream or milk in the sauce. I have been looking for it in Costco and am not able to find it. Why is it that when anything sells well, it is taken out of the store??
Well well , another goodie from Costco. . With cilantro as a garnish it’s good eating . Yes it had a bite to it but goes away fast Recommended
Except that I cannot find it at Costco anymore. It was introduced to me at Costco for 3 bottles for $10. The spiciness can be tamed with a little milk or cream added to the sauce.
I have tried this sauce as we have liked the KFI Butter Chicken sauce and used it for years. We really enjoy Indian, Thai, and other types of adventure foods but this one was not to our liking at all. Gave the remaining jar away.
Can you tell us what you didn’t like about it??
I have to agree with Kathy! I haven’t ever tried any other KFI sauces, so I can’t speak for those, but this Coconut Curry Sauce was something I don’t want to eat again. To me, the spices were overpowering, and I don’t mean heat-wise. I couldn’t taste any coconut. The flavor of the spices was so concentrated that it was more reminiscent of perfume or bathroom cleaner than curry sauce.
Miss the sampling at Costco. This was a great way to try a product before buying a larger quantity of it! May give this sauce a try though😊
