love watching you cooking your meals , please do not stop. you seem to be a good cook. I am a 58yr old woman and I hate cooking , as I am no good at it anyway lol. I was the same in school . I do basic stuff( microwave meals 🤣) but I do cook a Sunday roast , now and again, my son says its lovely , so I cant be that bad . love your cooking videos . please keep them going

[@barrypalmer6283]

Don't give up on the cooking Gareth I always enjoyed what you did. We all have the odd disaster but what I liked about your cooking videos was like myself you're not a chef just an ordinary guy like the rest of us. Yes we all know the top chefs can do wonders but it was nice to see an ordinary bloke in an ordinary kitchen cooking with ingredients we all have in our cupboards. I hope you have another go soon. Enjoyed the review btw I have had a few of the Aldi microwave meals and have found them all to be decent to be fair. Take care mate.

The thing with these ready meal currys the chicken is always sub par and from thailand or somewhere random like that…get your recipe book out Gaz and make your own. So easy…give it a whirl?

[@coffeeguy6673]

Yep, agreed, or watch another KZbinr, Al's Kitchen, he has loads of step by step recipes and shows you how to cook British Indian Restaurant style curries.

[@C_Pedro13]

@@coffeeguy6673 no i like watching Gaz, bin here from the start! Just voicing my opinion and would be good to see him cook a curry.👊🏼

[@graemerobinson7693]

Ready meals don't have to declare where there chicken comes from Which shouldn't be allowed same with tins etc lower welfare standards.

[@TheWWEfanatic93]

No... keep on cooking! As someone else said, we all have to start somewhere and it'll be interesting watching you get better with each meal.

[@Hannah_The_Heretic]

Nah keep at it lad, I learned how to cook one dish well, stir frys. It's a great quick dish, just a balance of soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and maybe some chilli for some heat

[@lynnpurfield9430]

Good idea...one type of meal...basic and then different ways as it improves.

[@Stratboy999]

Nice review. Good to see you getting back up to speed.

[@yutehube4468]

I'm on a diet and these little curries with rice included are ideal, but the Tikka Masala ones have a lot more calories than any of the others! I suppose because it's a creamy sauce. Jalfrezi (444 Cals) Tikka Masala (613 Cals) Rogan Josh (440 Cals) Vindaloo (416 Cals)

[@ChrisJames-pq6gg]

have you seen the fat,salt content? Asda curry's have far less fat and salt... might cost a tad more but be far better for you

[@uppergorple]

Think I said before, have a go at Morrisons curries. Vv good.

[@stevegreen5552]

Agreed. The chilled Lamb Rogan Josh and the Chicken Jalfrezi with all its veg - consistent quality.

[@GerryLewis-qb4pv]

A great review m8. This will go great with a nan bread and some Bombay potatoes or Saag Aloo. I often refer it as the " British Curry " as it was created in Scotland, not India. At £2:49? That's good price. Most 'ready meals' are priced at about £3:50 these days. Sure? it could do with more chicken, but as I always pour it over my rice so that the sauce mixes in with the rice, that doesn't bother me too much. If I want to boost it up a bit? I steam off some cauliflower and broccoli and add that in the mix. But so long as it tastes great, well seasoned etc? I'm not going to complain. I know from your previous reviews? If you say it has a decent heat rating? Then it's got to be pretty good. Yeah? I still prefer to make my own curries. But sometimes it"s handy to have something to bung in the microwave if time is a factor. Would I buy this? Most certainly, get a couple for my freezer. My only criticism is the fact that the chicken comes from abroad. I would feel happier if our British farmers were being used and supported.

[@delilahboa]

Brilliant review Gaz….. Sorry if you’ve covered this one before, I’m still in the process of watching your older videos so I’ll find it if you have and it’s far from new, but have you ever tried Charlie Bighams ready meals? They’re a little pricey, for example a Chicken Tikka and rice for 2 is priced at £9.50, but we only ever buy it when on offer (which is very often) at £7.50, so for 2 people it only works out at £3.75 each, not too bad we think. The chicken MELTS in your mouth. We just adore his whole range (does some desserts too), Waitrose have a huge selection of his meals, we usually stock up when there’s good offers all at once but on a regular basis get ours from Sainsbury’s…… if you haven’t tried them, I’d love to hear your thoughts…..his Jalfrezi is a favourite of ours too……thanks Gaz - Jan x❤x. 👍🏻

[@dougie60892]

if you like crunchy rice, cook from frozen 🙁, better in the oven, chicken is more tender, good video Gaz.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers pal 👍

[@michaelfeeney8437]

Agree with the consensus on here: Don’t give up on the cooking. Just do something where you don’t have to faff with too many ingredients.

Looks nice, I’ll give it a go. I can recommend the Iceland Extra Hot Chicken Tikka Masala, very spicy, very nice.

Love the reviews you can tell your more comfortable with that but every now and then a little cooking would idea would be good

Good one Gareth. Looks ok. I used to think that size was not suitable as a portion but as I am now its just about enough. Keep the reviews coming but don't be worried about having a go yourself, it's entertaining for your followers and I think you secretly enjoy having a go too. Perhaps anniunce ahead what you're thinking of trying and I'm sure people wiĺl give you tips before the event.😊 Have a good Bank Holiday.

Funnily enough Gareth I had one of these yesterday. 2 point: 1: 3 chillies my arse. Barely a tingle 2: Feeds 1. Who are they kidding? Apart from that it weren't too dusty.

[@rogerclark7469]

I didn't want to say anything, I'm aware you're in a state of flux. I'm no cook and watch your channel for easy meals I could try. I'm trying to get off the booze myself, I did 3 days but had the worst withdrawals today and got really ill. I was having weird visions and couldn't stop shaking. I went cold turkey after an average of 30 a day. I nearly fainted, it was like my whole body was vibrating. I'm still determined but needed some to stop the withdrawal. I've got some Diazapam off my Dad to help. Will be day four tomorrow. I'll get there. Good luck on your journey dude x

I don't know if you've seen them or done a review on the special curries from Aldi, they do various but I like the chicken jalfrezi and they are banging and not too expensive either, very authentic and as good as a proper takeaway curry👍👍👍

[@DamonSlater]

Contrary to popular belief, chicken tikka masala was never invented in Scotland. It wasn't a case where Ali was sitting at a table with all these ingredients thibking, hmmm you do think, these ingredients, when combined, could result in the creat of a curry?? Do you?? No that never happened. Ali cooked this curry many times in Bangladesh. Mohamad cooked thia curry in Pakistan many times. Mr Singh had cooked this curry in the rural villages of Panjab many times. Mr Ram in south India had cooked it. Mr Patel in central India had cooked it. A Nepalese person had cooked it. An Afghanistan person had already cooked it. A Sri Lankan person had already cooked it. Truth it, this chicken tikka masala had already been cooked in South Asian cou tries even way before partition. It was a staple dish in Northern India. People used left over chicken tikka to make a dish with a lightly spiced tomato sauce. So no, it was never invented in Scotland, but merely the dish was introduced from India to the uk by immigrants.

[@timredford6608]

Might give it a go, last week I tried ALDI liver and bacon with onions and gravey with mashed potato. Oven or microwave very impressed. All the best Gareth. Tim 😊

Cardamom pods are used in the making of Pilau as well as Cloves and Cassia but I wouldn't expect them to get through the final stage of production, the only thing that should get through is a few Cumin seeds.
