OP if you tried the Charlie Bigham's Jalfrezi you'd not bother recommending the M&S one again
In my personal opinion all supermarket ready made Indian meals are much of a muchness, I feel cheap n dirty saying it but some of the stuff you can pick off the takeaway deli counter thing in Asda might have a slight edge, and then there's Bighams head and shoulders above everything.
Unfortunately he only does Jalfrezi, Korma and Masala of which the Jalfrezi is as close as you'll get to restaurant/takeaway standard. Admittedly none of them are cheap but quality costs, you can add the Masala on to your 'My Waitrose' and get 20% off each time you buy it and for a Masala it has got a bit of a kick to it but the Jalfrezi is a different gravy :thumbsup: no pun intended

Best ready meal selection for vegetarians I have seen. Only one main but the sides are excellent and more than compensate.

You couldn't just make it 100% positive could you! Typical veggie!

Think I'd prefer to pay a couple of quid more and get the genuine article delivered (as I just have from Cafe Spice, 6 courser shared with the wife, and it's was fab) :thumbsup:

Oh I envy you that. We can't get anything delivered where we live, apart from the mail via the Post Office :cry: # So thanks OP for the heads up, I will be scheduling a visit to M&S. Their indian meals are rather delish!

The places I get them from, one an ex-chip shop in Walker, and the other a more upmarket restaurant in Heaton area of Newcastle are enough for two and the quality is high and delivered in 30-45 mins Gorgeous

I do cook most of my own but sometimes its nice to be lazy and I would love to be able to have one delivered. However, the M&S one was lovely

Thats odd. Theres normally, even if you're out in the wilds, a nearby Indian take away who will deliver. Not just in the bigger cities. Newcastle is better served in that respect than most, I HAVE noticed, true. I - literally - have too many takeaways who deliver than I can count locally. Countless Indian and Chinese, and the schawarma & Turkish and Lebanese takeaways, Thai takeaways and so on.

I will have to move home :smile: Seriously there is no takeaway that will deliver, it is not just Indian takeaways. i would love to have the choice you have x

Commiserations. But still you must have some positives ? Peace and quiet, real wildlife, not mouthy peabrains, great views etc ? :raised_hand: Actually never thought of the positives of an outwater like the edge of Newcastle - but last night we had an Indian delivered - for me, a chinese for the wife and a Thai for my daughter who's visiting this weekend for her husband to do the Great North Run - who's into Thai food just now since she had a (gorgeous) baby girl recently ! :grin:

I wonder if you'd so enthusiastic if you knew what went on behind the scenes though? Most takeaways are using huge quantities of salt, and also chilli to flavour the food, and the hygiene standards are not always what you might want them to be. Why do you think you never see any ethnic people there?

Sounds like your average English restaurant, minus the chilli.

Have you seen some of the videos of halal prep ?
westarmy to PhilK
26 Sep 17#42
Yeah I have yet each one that I have seen slewn across social media is quite clearly not halal.
I've also seen how pigs are treated, caged hens etc.
Here are a few requirements towards halal:
Halal advocates welfare for the animal, the animal needs to be free to do as it pleases as in live a good life, well fed, "organic". A lot better than a lot of meat sold in Tescos.
Animal cannot be slaughtered infront of other animals - As seen in many "halal" videos.
Personally, I buy meat from local butchers whilst expensive, I can be sure it's halal to some extent. Heck I've only ever consumed beef a few times in my life because it's so hard to get hold and even then the butcher struggles to source it and when he does its extortionate.
To claim the prep is wrong is a bit silly, unless you vegetarian then yes I agree all animal slaughter to some extent is cruel.
But I like chicken.

"Best supermarket curry" is an oxymoron. That is all.

Indian restaurant curry is knocked up from a veg base and I'm often dissatisfied with them in my area except for one or two maybe. Tesco has a new range and the Madras is pucker and lots of it for £3.50! So I'll give the m&s a go as there's more flavour and ingredients in my opinion from a good shop bought curry.
