Really? My wife is Goan with a big extended family, for the 12 or so years we been together I have never heard of anyone doing this. Use of ready minced garlic and ginger in jars yes, but nothing else.
My ex partner is South American and his mum never used jar sauces The same as above minced garlic and ginger in jars everything else was fresh Her pepper pot is to die for She never used mega hot chillies either as food should be enjoyed not put out the fire in your mouth
