BLOWN AWAY! CHEAP NEW ALDI CHICKEN VINDALOO Food Review

• Chicken

[@fredonline]

Recently, I've been making Chicken Vindaloo in the slow cooker. I like the 'Patak's Vindaloo Curry Sauce' jars (currently on offer at ASDA: £1.50 per jar - I use 2 jars), to that I add a small pack of 'Ashfields British Chicken Breast Mini Fillets' from Aldi. Seal the chicken in a frying pan for a few minutes, then bung it in the slow cooker with the sauce. Usually, I prepare it all in the morning, so plenty of time for it to cook before tea-time! Also from Aldi, I get their 'Worldwide Foods Classic Pilau Rice' and some 'Inspired Cuisine Onion Bhajis' and some mini-naan breads. That volume of chicken and sauce is good (for me anyway) for 4 portions - 1 portion for my tea and the other 3 portions go into foil trays and in the freezer, ready for the following weeks. 😋😋😋😋

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Fred

[@johndavis7944]

Excellent stuff $👍🤤😀

[@darkvader7231]

Thats the way to do it!!!

[@26TM034]

Nice can't beat a corn fed in the slow cooker....even a cheap chicken can be very tasty 4/5 hours ovenite in the S\C

[@Oscarspaw1971]

I also use my slow cooker for curry sauces from a jar. Aldi vindaloo and madras are best I think and good value at £1-10 roughly. Beef is best I think in slow cooker,lovely and tender

[@KakarotOwns]

Seal peal test came smoothly off, Gareth is sleeping well tonight 😂

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha yes

[@andrewrobinson2565]

The bells🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔 will peal on Saturday.

[@simonworthington3330]

Omg that woke me up indeed when you mentioned my name with the videos. Ha Ha. Would you not use a spoon for getting both on it.. You enjoyed it and made us smile and poor Dusty going hungry again . Nice one M8.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha you're welcome

[@mmwaashumslowww7167]

I am truly amazed at the quality for the price. 400g is the norm for most meals and that one's for my belly bulging.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers pal, yes cheap and tasty 😋

[@malcbury9739]

Great timing Gareth! Saw these in Aldi today when looking for a Chicken Jalfrezi to have for supper after my day out in Blackpool this Saturday. I thought, wow, a Vindaloo. I'll have to try one next time, if I've nothing much planned for the following morning (you know where I'm coming from 😉😂) and here you are, reviewing it! You say it's not as fiery as those from takeaways and restaurants, but still has a kick to it, so great, deffo gonna get one next time cos I know I'll be safe the morning after 😂😂. What I do with those curries is, once I've removed any cardamom pods, and sometimes cloves, spoon the rice into a soup bowl, then pour the curry on top. You then automatically get some rice with the curry when you scoop it out with a fork or spoon. Another fantastic review. Cheers 👍

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Enjoy Blackpool Malc

[@stuartscriven2567]

Great review again mate will be trying that but adding some chips and a big Nan bread and a nice cold cobra

[@jwsuicides8095]

Asda has large portions of curries...on offer you get 3 for 10 quid. You add your own rice. The vindaloo is very hot so you end up eating a lot of rice with it and it goes further. The other week I suggested you look at the new Asda frozen curry meals if you haven't already. For 2 quid or 2.50 (depending on offers). You get a curry, a side dish, and rice, plus the world's smallest bhaji or spring roll. One of the Indian ones and the Chinese one are good.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thank you for the information 🙏

A massive shame that Morrisons discontinued their 'Volcanic Vindaloo' and 'Flaming Fiery Phal' lines. The best (and hottest) supermarket curries I ever tasted.

In my best Poltergeist II imitation..."They're back".

Thanks for the review Gareth. Think I'm going to try that one :)

Saw you posted this earlier and thought - Im going to watch this with a glass of wine tonight..and here I am 😁

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Oh enjoy your wine 🍷

[@eileenfothergill5025]

Thank you . Just so easy to throw in the microwave. I've moved onto mayflower and make the sauce that way . Saves a fortune when there's a few people to feed , just add chicken , peas and onion .. This is a quick handy meal for 1 though x

How funny I had this last night and absolutely loved it and full of chicken , I’ll watch later as at work

Had this for tea tonight. Just hot enough to make the top of my head sweat! Absolutely spot on. Keep 'em coming Gareth.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha great Tony. Glad you liked it. 👍

[@michaelmurray9153]

Hope your 'back up team' cleaned up the fallen fork! 😜. Great video again Gareth.

Another good review Gareth, I had to laugh when you said it had gone all over your socks. You'll have to get a hazmat suit. I get them from Lidl.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha yes I need one of them lol

[@saddaddrummer]

I can't recommend the Aldi Bistro range curries highly enough, large portions and very filling. We love the buttered chicken.

[@alanthomson1227]

Agreed. OST of Bistro range quite good

[@Matt19matt19]

Are those the ones that don't come with rice? They're the best ones as I just like a naan with a curry instead of rice.

[@saddaddrummer]

@@Matt19matt19 Yes, that's the ones.

[@gracenurse9837]

i have used these when time was short, we quite liked them, a great vid again gareth you do a good job with these comparesons

[@Shining_Whit]

I'm lucky to have both Aldi and Lidl close by. They both do this type of ready meal for a similar price. The Lidl Butter Chicken is my favourite (Just about to put one in the microwave now!) I think the Aldi Jalfrezi is my next choice but may give this one a try tomorrow. Great vid as always!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers pal

[@davidspear9790]

I shop at Lidl every week and am always on the look out for new stuff. I love butter chicken but have never seen it in there before, so I generally add a few knobs of butter to an existing one, but you don't get the same result. Butter is too expensive these days to chuck half a block in to a curry!

[@ljrretropcs]

Looks really tasty that one Gaz! Might have to pick a couple up. I think 1 is a bit small for my belly!

[@neilthorley359]

Try watch yer all the time gazza I watch your channel religiously when I come off nights before I take a kip all the best matey you deserve the recognition you get great stuff keep up the great work and say hello to the good lady and the nippers hat off

Great review Gareth if i find a decent supermarket ping meal i usually Gaz it up as my family describe it just a some spice and sweetness in my case as i like a hot sweet curry will give this one a go and maybe Gaz it up a bit!!😋😋🌶🍒🌶

[@anjkovo2138]

You know folks. I never have rice with a vindaloo. I always have Chapatis . Mrs Singh showed me how to eat it.

I mix the curry with the rice THEN eat it with chapatis. Yom!

Great video, Have you tried asda 2 curries in a bag deal, Vindaloo and phall, now I like hot, but the phall was ridiculously hot

Yes I've had them, good 👍

[@AndyJackson380]

Love their curries, can't go wrong, especially for the price.

Like the way you neatly separated the rice from the vindaloo 😂 looks really good, Aldi are certainly improving with the 'ping' meals 😋. Keep up the great reviews 👍

I sometimes think that I should really be coming home from these trips to Aldi, with more than just 6 Bottles of Beer. So I am always pleased to see you reviewing the latest produce from there… Unfortunately, my local Branch never seems to have any of this stuff you so expertly analyse. In fact my local always looks as if The Ant Hill Mob have just turned the place over.

[@michaelbreame523]

That looks tasty Gareth, i'm gonna try it. I had a chicken vindaloo from Asda the other day and it was very hot.

[@peterthornton2396]

I cooked a vindaloo a couple of weeks back mate following a recipe. That looks spot on I’m going to buy one.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Only last year this would probably have been around £1.50 to £1.69. They are pretty decent but so many increases. Great review mate

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Enjoy Ian

[@PaoloBanke]

I like the tikka masala they do at about £1.25 but I like my vindaloo too so might give this one a go. Bit heavy on the salt and sugar mind but its one of those you can throw in the freezer for a lazy day and get something tasty quick and easy. Hotter curries are long overdue and lamb ones even more overdue this might just open a little door 😊.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers pal 👍

[@karlos543]

I like shopping at Aldi but they are crap at putting stock back out. Many times I've needed to ask and they fetch it from out back, especially if it's whiskey. That's my moan for the day!

[@Bill_Stranix]

Same with my local one as well. Hopeless!

[@michaelfeeney8437]

At my local they seem to be constantly restocking while you are there. Also products get buried under the shelves so you can’t see them.

[@starshapedtambourineman]

Gladiator : "The frost, it makes the blade stick." 7:25 Gareth : "the sauce, it makes the rice stick." This looks really good, for what it is. Thanks for the video. ✌️ Are you not entertained?

The cardamom pods are put in separately for show, so sadly not cooked with it. You should try eating them, they are quite sweet and you get a taste explosion. But £2.50 seems a bit pricey for what you get. Best thing is to get an decent Indian cookbook and the spices, much nicer but can be hard work but I usually make enough for quite a few meals
