mrs spicy,

please do not be so antagonistic in your replies. it is most unwelcome.

FYI it is not so hard for me to cook several curries and freeze them, which I do regularly when I find a "keeper"

You don't personally know me so how can you possibly imagine that I don't already have a freezer full of pre-cooked curries and sauces???

As stated before, this thread was to see if there are any hidden gems in the shop bought curry market.

If you feel that this thread is not for you please refrain from posting on it

Many thanks to the contributors..

Tommy,

Try it, you won't be disappointed for 2 bucks

My most humble apologies to all the food snobs/officianados for this thread...NOT

Unfortunately some people cannot cook a curry every time we feel like having one.

Also, some people simply cannot afford to visit the TA every other day/weekend due to cash constraints.

We are in the middle of a triple dip recession after all...

The purpose of this thread was to gauge what people thought was a cheaper tasty alternative to both TA and home cooked curry to achieve their "curry fix"

OK..what's the best non TA shop bought curry you've tried.

for instance..Asda chicken bhoona...Morrisons Tikka Masala..you get the drift

I've been buying Icelands Beef Madras (not the frozen variety. the one from the chiller cabinet in a pouch) and for only ?2 its brilliant. I usually add some methi,chilli flakes and coriander to make it more my taste but it really is not so bad without my additions.

nice pleasant taste, nice beef (hopefully beef), and at only 2 quid a pop, you can't go wrong really.

Right fellow curry freaks...what's yours ??

slightly off topic....talking of Tartan Curry...

there is a curryshop in Edinburgh(?) that does a Chicken Bruhna...a bhoona cooked with Irn Bru...

for anyone wishing to try this, here's the recipe as originally posted by Stephen Lindsay

looks brilliant and one I am definitely gonna try out as soon as i get a wee bit of spare time.

Cheers SL

looks absolutely brilliant

just gotta search for the recipe now....

I always pre-cook the rice, then cool under a cold tap to stop the cooking process.

this is done the day before and stored in fridge until ready to cook.

just the way I've always done it...doesn't make it right ...or wrong

but...when I tried a fried rice with "hot" rice it did seem to go a mushy texture

if its colour you want....here ye go

ruby...have a wee looksy here

quote from yer good self..."Looks good Phil. A credit to the shrine. Personally I have always had better results with fried rice when adding the cooked rice when cold."

a credit to the shrine of total anaemia perhaps or maybe it was just the camera flash... ROFL

Cheers
