Chef Select Chicken Tikka Masala

Published on March 1st, 2013

Nice and creamy sauce but a little lacking in spice. It’s also slightly on the watery side. However, the sight of fresh almonds in the sauce was very welcome, as was the bay leaf in the rice. This meal uses real ingredients, as opposed to the genetically modified, artificial food of the anti-Christ that we… [Read More]

Iceland Chicken Tikka Lasagne

Published on February 23rd, 2013

Flavourless, filling food. This gives chicken tikka a bad name- the tiniest bits of chicken, with a hot, spicy kick. The lasagne itself is ok- fairly rich and creamy. The chicken tikka combination isn’t unpleasant, or even weird, just underwhelming. Still, not bad for £1.

Sharwood’s Lamb Biryani

Published on January 8th, 2013 Sharwood's

Hardly any lamb to speak of- just a few bits of mince. Nice and obvious use of fresh ingredients (you will find yourself crunching on the odd clove). Tasty flavours. Despite its lack of meat, the meal doesn’t feel lacking.

Sainsbury’s Vegetable Curry

Published on October 10th, 2012

Very good first impressions. Gorgeous smell, looks amazing. Fairly creamy, but nothing like a korma. This is just like the sauce you get with a biryani. Contains sweet potato, which I’m not a fan of, but this is tasty nonetheless. This is a mild curry which has a slightly warm feeling as it goes down… [Read More]

Tesco Chicken Jalfrezi

Published on September 17th, 2012

Not a lot to say about this one. It’s quite spicy and is about as hot as a curry can get while still being tasty. The sauce is a tad watery, but there is lots of chicken. Nice and easy microwaving instructions.

Pot Noodle Chicken Tikka GTI

Published on August 28th, 2012

No, it doesn’t look good. Giving it a stir didn’t make it look any more appetising. With a repulsed look on my face, I took my first bite… The noodles are horribly soft and the chicken tikka masala sauce is nothing to rave about. I was impressed by the real pieces of chicken, though don’t… [Read More]

Red Lion Foods Chicken Tikka Masala

Published on May 17th, 2012 Red Lion Foods

The chicken is soft but quite dry. Saying that, these are nice big pieces of chicken, quite good value. The sauce has a potent aftertaste, quite perfumey and unpleasant- I genuinely had to double-check and see if my tin was in date. It didn’t help that there was a dark black stain at the bottom… [Read More]

Sainsbury’s Mild Beef Curry

Published on March 21st, 2012

The “mild” part of the title is a little misleading. Though this isn’t a vindaloo by any means, it still packs a small punch, which might be too much for the more sensitive curry-eater. Reasonable quantity of beef. Pleasantly soft texture – much preferable to being too tough. The curry itself is a little disappointing,… [Read More]
