Aldi beats it hands down at standard prices, (and maybe in quantity too):
2x curry ready meals with pilau rice - choice of 3 available £1.39 each = £2.78
2x naans 49p
8x mini onion bhajis 85p
Total £4.12

It's a game of find the meat in all of these types of deal, 95% sauce and 5% meat.

The reason people buy these is because they can't be bothered, don't have the time and don't know what they're doing

Which is quite ironic as there is never a vegetarian option on these Indian meal deals!

We bought this last week and had no complaints about the taste. Its a larger quantity and cheaper than Sainsbury's offering who have incidently just raised their prices.

Just make your own from scratch. It takes longer, but will taste better if you know what you're doing.

I am no great fan of ready meals at all, very rarely buy them but I haven't EVER had a home made curry by anyone else a tenth as good as you can buy in a ready meal nowadays.
At one time I was an avid home curry cook, (in the style of British Indian Restaurants eg. http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php ) and it takes some SERIOUS effort (not least of all time) to get an even half decent result, so if you have the necessary talent do tell us how to, because many have failed, and chucking curry powder in is NOT anything close a "decent curry"! This style of food is the most difficult to emulate of ANY international food.
Domestic style Indian/Pakistani?Bangladeshi cooking is NOT what most people here want because it is not what they are used to in restaurants and takeaways, nor ready meals and given that type most people don't even recognise it!
