Ready meal curries

[Aphex]

I often take an Aldi Chicken Jalfrezi for lunch at work. May not be the best curry ever but at £1.89 it’s certainly not bad.

These are lovely actually. I normally add a bit of Naga to pep it up.

I'm currently sat here eating chicken rendang, jasmine rice and Japanese crispy chicken from M&S, and I can say with hand on heart, that what I'm eating at the moment are the best ready meals known to man and woman.

What are your favourite ready meal curries, that are just as good a substitute for the restaurant kind?

I once had a meal in an Indian restaurant in the late 60s - sausage, egg 'n chips.

Ready meals suck ass. Takes 20 mins to make a proper meal

Me too, I learn restaurant style from youtube videos, bit of a ballache at first with the base gravy etc but once you've a stock of that in the freezer it's easy to get a madras together. Been trying onion bahjis from scratch recently, no comparison to bought ones.

Sounds good, mate.

I don't trust Chicken at the best of times and I certainly wouldn't eat ready meal chicken no matter how nice the curry was. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so fussy because when the wife has them they smell lovely. Making your own is the best way and it really doesn't take much longer.

Hard to beat MandS for these meals, although i had an asdas chicken tandoori massala one this week which was tasty.

I tried a chicken tarka, recently

It's like a tikka

Just a little otter

My mate swallowed a whole contained of curry powder for a dare.

He was in a korma for ages.

Used to do that myself. Not done it for a while.

Nips out for a 56lb bag of onions

Worth it though eh, I've only made them 8 at a time so far but, considering the effort and state of the kitchen afterwards, I will be doing them in bulk next time. Hopefully they will freeze ok if slightly undercooked to allow for reheating.
