Topic: Frozen curries

[Vinda looo]

Ive just bought a frozen chicken vindaloo in my local indian foodstore and it was the nearest I have ever tasted to a take away curry. They make them in Newcastle, some industrial estate and its in the proper trays and has that smell and taste which you would expect from take aways/restaurants. wow well pleased and still cant quite beleive it. the name is SHAHIS. They do many other curries aswell but I havnt got round to them all yet.

HI Vindalooo, as a fellow Geordie [South Shields } I too have tried Shahi's frozen jobs in the past when caught short by having none of my own left in the freezer, and I must admit they are nice, especially the vindaloo. Cheers Paul

There's a bloke who has a stall in Durham indoor market, and his curries, which are just sauce without anything in them, cost more than a takeaway. There's no particular smell to them, or you wouldn't be able to get near. Being a smug git, I chuckle to myself as a walk past.

Incidentally fellow Northerners, I just bought myself a great black iron curry pan from Makro in Washington. It cost a piffling ?5.50, (plus Vat) and when I seasoned it I was able to fry an egg in it without it sticking at all. Give it a quick wipe, and it's ready to go again.

I know that guy selling curries at Durham. He was at Dalton Park selling sauces, he had them all laid out to sample, cold. They looked ok so I gave the Madras a try and just as expected it was just like something you would buy in Asda, nothing hit me to buy any and certainly not at 3.99 a tub.
On the subject of cold curries, anyone like them cold. I like to taste it when its cold, I can taste all the spices better, although I wouldnt eat a meal this way.

The majority of our sales are frozen curries!
