Gosh, Lidl seem to have a wide choice of manufacturers for their increasingly large range of both chilled and frozen curries. I was back at Lidl this morning and, by a spot of luck, found a pack of the Noon ?1.89 chilled Chicken Korma on special offer at 95p, so I will try it later.
Lidll must specify the packing since both are branded 'Kanpur Garden' with the same basic colour scheme for the cardboard cover.
The ingredients are quite different, though. The frozen one, which I already rate as 'excellent like a BIR' contains coconut cream as the second largest sauce ingredient after water. It also contains ground almonds and chicken stock amongst many other ingredients.
The chilled food version contains more single cream than coconut cream.
Some of Lidl's other curries are made by further manufacturers, besides Noon and County Foods.

Update: I have now tried the 450g chilled food version of Lidl's chicken korma made by Noon Products. Lilke most of the Noon output it's not bad, but nothing special. Compared to virtually the same thing in M&S and the like for around double the price, though, it's a bargain. But I'll stick to the 89p frozen one, which is better in absolute terms, regardless of price, quite apart from being very like many a BIR chicken korma.
Mr Noon has made millions serving up lackluste curries to supermarkets. If there is any fairness in the world, imagine how most people would probably prefer your curries and you too could make millions. But it's not about food quality, it's about being able to sell and get yourself listed as a preferred supplier.
