I don't use the simmer sauces but if you buy some Madras curry powder, it's mostly curry flavor without the spice. Use a lot (couple tablespoons worth) to flavor chicken, potatoes, onions, etc. and add a can of coconut milk or just some chicken broth to make the sauce.
Also, have you tried Japanese curry? It's more of a brown sauce versus the Indian curry flavor but it's really delicious. They sell cubes of it at the Asian markets. Just add to meat and veg with water and it makes its own nice thick sauce, perfect over rice. Actually that's what I'm planning for dinner tonight!
