You know, you have to feed one person (me) and so making a meal is troublesome, time consuming and basically it's easier to buy one ready made.

Which are the best and worst you have bought? Only so I can update my shopping habits in 2023.

For me Aldi do the best and Lidl the worst.

This is good

I still like the Co-op chicken biryani. Tesco chicken vindaloo is ok, though occasionally the chicken is tough. Sainsbury’s have some limited edition ones; the chicken karahi seems to have gone now but was great. All that limited edition range have better flavour and are more authentic but occasionally you find a bit of bone in the chicken.

In the same Aldi range they do a great Chicken Tikka Masala which is as spicy as the Jalfrezi.

Asda used to do a cracking Beef Madras in their takeaway main range but I haven't seen it for years (pre-covid)

Cheers lads I am updating the list.

Keep them coming.

One we had today along chicken from Aldi was the king prawn bhuna - I dont like prawns in curry but it was not bad at all. (My Mrs is back at work so this was me cooking )

The Tesco ones taste nice, but the chicken is very variable. Had a couple where it’s been hard and rubbery, very off putting.

M&S Chicken Saag is my go-to quick fix.

Never shop at Aldi, but I'll consider mixing with the great unwashed based on the recommendation

Sainsburys chicken madras is very good.

Waitrose Keralan Chicken Fry is my fave at the mo. A good one for those of us that like dry curries with a lot of spice

I’m not sure where Broccers is from but I think he’s up north and we don’t have Waitrose up here!

Really? We have one in Otley?

I thought they were everywhere!

I have never eaten a ready meal Curry nor will I ever do…

I always thought it was shit too. Turns out I was wrong - their better stuff is quite good. Most of the stuff is shit tho
