Title: Supermarket BIR ?
Post by: Peripatetic Phil on January 23, 2018, 09:52 PM

I have never been a fan of supermarket Indian ready meals, but I had a pleasant surprise today when I tried Morrison's "Volcanic Vindaloo (https://groceries.morrisons.com/webshop/product/Morrisons-Volcanic-Vindaloo/393702011)" -- it was not bad at all.  Interestingly, there was no potato (purists will say "quite right too" !), but with a helping of Mrs Bari's egg pulao,and a ready-made chapati, it went down a treat.  Worth looking out, I would say.

Unlikely to measure up to a good vindaloo cooked by any of the regulars on here that cook and who have been on the journey a while.  Other than a few tins of St Michael's chicken curry back in the 70's and a spoonful of an Asda madras and a couple of the good old Vestas, my experience of supermarket curries is nil.  I first got to hear about this four months or so ago at work when one of my colleagues mentioned it to me.  Probably baby food I thought so i decided to keep an eye out for it when shopping in Morrisons.  It was a  while before i happened across it.  At that time the meal deal was 2 mains and 2 sides for

Had one a good while ago, and have to say it was tastier and hotter than I was expecting, but have never bothered to get one again

I couldn't disagree more. You say your experience of supermarket curries is nil and still assume they aren't very good. How out of touch you are. Some (and it is only some) of the Morrisons and M&S chilled curries are delicious, for a start, and I doubt very much if you or almost anyone on here could get remotely close in terms of the quality of flavour.
