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!

Even if someone cooks ... it wont be those many different types.
typically we make 1 curry + rice + and buy nan bread. [ that takes aprox 1hr]

Well that's not quite correct, but the "Indian" food people are used to in Restaurants and takeaways is of Bangladeshi origins, but was originally very much aimed at British taste, and that does.

Having Indian friends, "authentic" domestic food from the Indian subcontinent doesn't do much for me, and most people I know don't rave about it when it is put in front of them either, because it is really not what we have become accustomed to.

Thats completely true .
50% of them may not have heard some of the curry names
traditionally turmeric, vinegar and tamarind are used so they can store them in refrigerator for 2 days. There is no need to use preservatives

I really wish I had Indian friends, so I could try proper Indian food. :disappointed:

Not nearly as exciting as you might think.

I don't know, just having a friend would be exciting, the foods just an extra :neutral_face:

I had one of these last week. Very pleasant. Bordering on a bit spicy for me, but I stuck it out. However, it is only right I point out that Salt & Vinegar crisps bring me out in a sweat, so perhaps I'm no judge of spicy.

We have books now. If you can read you can learn.

I've travelled a lot around the world, and often take a few days in authentic cookery schools when I go abroad. Chucking curry powder in won't produce a decent result. But a bit of effort using the right ingredients will.

Do tell me where the book is that produces this style of curry?

I can name any number too but it won't produce a curry anything like you would find in the UK restaurants and takeaways.

yes ...
UK restaurants and takeaways? - i dont call it as Indian Food. It is british version of Indian food.

Oh you want curries like in a takeaway.

You need "The Takeaway Secret" book
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Takeaway-Secret-cook-favourite-fast-food/dp/0716022354

Also teaches you other delights, such as MD's sandwiches and other well known preservative peddlers.

All can't be bothered to get off the sofa and do it yourself. Imagine having to move, or find something out all by yourself without being spoon fed.

No, the information you claim to have is simply not available... anywhere. On the web nor elsewhere. The Bangladeshi chefs operate a totally "closed shop,"which is why some restaurant owners panic when they can't bring new chefs to the UK.
The web site I mentioned earlier is the nearest to it, but it's not that close. But of course you claim to know it all.

Don't make me laught. I know everything I need to know to make a range of curries I love. With better ingredients than mass produced supermarket swill. Which this offer is.

DealJourno

Which takeaway or restaurant. Or do youwant to learn to make the same curries as each individual UK based Indian restaurant? Good luck with the impossible.
