BEST Cheapest Curry I've Reviewed! CHICKEN BHUNA

[@JohnSmith-il3kv]

Hi Gareth, Glad you tried my recommedation. Did you get the meal deal?... 2 curries and two sides for £5 (may be £6 now---not sure). You could have a choice of 5 curries and two side's---pilau rice or bombay potatoes for £5 (or £6) ...... great value. I had two bhuna's and two bombay potatoes ---what a deal!!!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

I didn't get the deal. Will be going back though thank you.

[@ManCity4Ever]

Yes the deal is still £5.

[@JohnSmith-il3kv]

@@ManCity4Ever Thanks for confirmation.

[@brusselssprouts560]

Bhuna is not hot. It is spicy but mild and aromatic, so this isn't authentic.

[@JohnSmith-il3kv]

@@brusselssprouts560 Bhuna is a medium hot curry. On a scale of 1-10, (where 10 is the spiciest) bhuna is around a 6. The amount of chilli powder you add however is optional so you can adjust the level of heat, by adding more or less. The name bhuna again refers to the style in which the curry meat is cooked. In Urdu, bhunna means to be fried. The dish, which originates from Bengal, is typically prepared by frying lots of spices at a high temperature. The meat is then added, and simmers away in its own juices. Bhuna means spicy-----Just for your education.

[@mansfieldlad123]

The curries they sell at Heron are very good no doubt about it if you can plan ahead a bit I find it is best to let them thaw out overnight in the fridge the just heat them up in a saucepan over a low heat as using a microwave can make the chicken rubbery. My only criticism is I wish it was a bigger portion as I'm a greedy pig.

[@marierobinson3935]

😂😂

[@patrickdaly6425]

@Mansfield, that's the way i do the curries from the frozen stores, i think its better and if needed, add some more spices

[@ynothump2566]

I have just text my wife to pick up a few of these as there is a Heron Foods opposite where she works lol. The entire range this company knocks out is great. Chicken is always tender. Unbelievable value for money ❤

[@stevewroe1599]

Great to see good honest ingredients and a 10/10. Why do other companies have to put a huge amount of rubbish in their meals. Don't have the shop down here in the south, but will try B&M. Keep the great work up Garreth.

[@matthewwilliams3827]

Oh sorry mate no idea pal

[@hayleypollard3225]

I buy them all time they do about 5 different currys spot on

[@HELL-BENT74]

I'm the kind of person who likes to mix my food, condiments, and beverages; for example what I do with a frozen supermarket chicken curry is during the cooking process I add King Prawns to the chicken curry and continue cooking. I also mix hot chilli sauce with either Mexican, Greek, Turkish, Spanish, or Southern Italian tomato sauce. If you're going to mix fruit beverages make sure that you only mix a citrus beverage with another citrus beverage; don't mix a citrus beverage with Banana or Mango beverages as they don't blend well. I must also be in the minority who doesn't mix Gin with Tonic Water, instead I mix Gin with Sprite.

[@MrBazzabee]

Yes.

[@simonhare7369]

Banging Bhuna. Well worth the 2 for £5 deal and thanks for the recommendation 😊

You're making me hungry, I'm popping around to herons tomorrow and getting one of these :) gonna have it with some fries done in the air fryer.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Hope you enjoy

[@martinoconnor4314]

I think the most tempting thing about this curry is the ingredients list and none of that rubber Thailand chicken. I'll be sure to have a crack at these next time I get to Heron.

[@Sigma1_969]

Nice one Gareth... I love hot spicy food. That looked nice for a ready made meal, and the price is very fair. Good job lad.

these curries are great value im eating one now definitely worth a try

Is Heron Foods B&M - when I Google them B&M come up

[@conormacdougal2344]

Had this for my tea this evening. Absoluttely great! I mixed in some chopped peppers to lessen the volume of sauce. Looking forward to trying the Chocken Jalfrezi in the next couple of days from the same range. What a great recommendation.

[@ronvalente65]

Hi Gareth, iv'e tried the chicken Bhuna and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I must confess I didn't find it as hot as you found it, all I think is your palet isn't as used to steamers as mine! I shall be trying the Madras next time . nice one.

What I got was a few packs of veg (which were a bit manky) 3 tubs of cottage cheese, some "sizzle "sausages, a loaf---- and that's about it.

The full retail amount might have added up to £10-----but I argued with head office that the REDUCED LABEL PRICES should AT LEAST add up to £3.50. They sent me a £1 voucher.......

[@robertsmelt6638]

The dearly departed Poundstretcher used to sell curries branded as Dewhurst in long life packaging. I never found them in stores again, they didn't need refrigeration. I traced them to a Dutch company which makes airline meals but sadly no longer sold in the UK. They were absolutely awesome tasting. A couple of quid for a curry is a good deal.

[@julesb7707]

There’s still plenty of Poundstretchers around the uk & online. We still have one in Scarborough.👍🏼

[@billsalt2206]

Can this be bought at B&M, if so I'm stocking up. Great post 👍

[@traceywainwright]

Yes they're so nice love the butter chicken one 😊

[@muskerp]

I tried this the other day and I agree, for £2 this is the best value curry you can get, it's tasty and you couldn't make it yourself for this price unless you were making it for 10+ people. I also tried their chilli chicken but while the flavour was good the chicken needed to be cooked separately to get some crispiness in my opinion.

[@ManCity4Ever]

These curry's are spot on.I always buy them.And the deal is even better.2 Curry's and 2 sides for £5.I always have plenty in my freezer.

[@fmcb269]

@@BaldFoodieGuy Yes, those ostrich burgers are great! These are from the same company. Solid meat, and cooked sous vide so that all you have to do is sear them in a pan. "Sous Vide" may sound a bit trendy, but it makes them pink all the way through, not just in the middle. Give them a try mate, and if you don't like them I'll spot you the cost!

Hey up Gareth, finally bought some of your Mayflower curry sauce yesterday from Home Bargains. Tried to make it today but think I got my measurements a bit wrong.

Country of origin labelling is mandatory for meat but not for meat used in prepared foods, such as ready meals. UK origin is usually advertised as a premium selling point, and without the origin stated like we have here, one has to assume the chicken is not sourced from the UK
