I love these I have two of them every Sunday for my dinner, ever since I saw you do this last time, saves me a fortune from going to my local Indian 😋👍

That rice really looked the best i have ever seen in an oven ready meal. Fluffy, with a great color and with some whole spices. 👍 Well done, Aldi!
@williamstroker68059 ай бұрын
I like hot curries and often buy these Aldi ones. The Vindaloo and Jalfrezi are my favourites and sometimes I add mushrooms and a squeeze of Carolina Reaper sauce to juice them up a bit. I recently bought the Waitrose Jalfrezi with rice and at £3.90 it was comparable or maybe not quite as tasty as the Aldi meal. Somehow Aldi are really getting the flavours right with a lot of their foods, compared to their early days of seeming cheap and inferior.
@steveaga46839 ай бұрын
I never understand why food shops label their curries as being stronger than they are in reality. Why don't they just label them accurately? Then the people that want a weaker curry can have one labelled as such and the ones that want a stronger one get what they paid for!

Because it is impossible to predict how chili heat will affect a person; one person may find it quite tame, while another will find it unbearable.

Hi Gareth, I have the vindaloo ALDI curry with a narn, & a side dish of taka dhal ( dhal from Sainsbury) not half bad & enough with the extra sides £2.49 absolute bargin like most ALDI stuff👍

I worked in India on & off for 2 years & managed to eat some of the worst curries I’ve ever had, the best I’ve had is in Puerto del carmen a restaurant called Mumbai next to the beach, if ur ever in Lanzarote go there, it’s fantastic !!👍

You could've squeezed the seeds out of the cardammon pod before rejecting it !! Also, if on budget the Frozen Tikka Masala is only £1.49 (all made in the same Irish Food Factory) Aldi have these 'Spot on' for us single folk , lol

People forget. This was £1.49 in 2019, £1.69 in 2021, £2.49 today, a massive increase of 67% over 4 years. Has your income increase by the same percentage?

These curries from Aldi are fantastic value for money and really tasty. Had the Jalfrezi last night 😋 Saw the Vindaloo and on your recommendation will try that next. BTW, yes it was a clove that you had in there, last nights had a cardamom pod in, sometimes you get both! Great review as always.👍

A really good deal from Aldi. I enjoyed their chicken korma when staying with friends several years ago. I forget the exact price then; I do recall it was very good value. £2.49 certainly is! We did the same as you for a naan substitute, Gareth: open loaf of sliced bread in the middle of the table.😋😊

Ooh thank you for this positive review. Husband likes curry, hot spicy curry. He was in the Merchant Navy and chefs and kitchen staff were usually Indian. They would cook known stuff for the crew but for themselves they would put stuff together and spicier for myself. If the seamen got to know them, they would share their food. Husband would cook the stuff at home after he left the MN.... I couldn't eat it,... If its stronger than a tikka I hiccup from the first taste!!!! So now if we are doing curry, it's a ping one or if we are feeling 'flush' we have a takeaway from our favourite place.... So Thank you again.
@michaellilley67259 ай бұрын
Not all the Aldi repackaged ready meals have maintained there quality. I used to love their Spaghetti Carbonara and Chicken and Pasta bake, the sauce was really flavoursome. The new version isn't nearly so tasty. Similarly they had the best Chicken Tikka masala of all the supermarkets, it also has changed and not for the better.
@martindunstan80439 ай бұрын
Hey Gareth👍that looked pretty good and especially for £2.49, I thought they might have pumped that up to 3 quid. That dark thing in your rice looked like star anise mate to me anyway which is optional in pilau rice apparently. Cheers buddy✌️

I like a good where's the loo curry on a Saturday night with thick cut chips. I will have to try these from Aldi, not a bad price either £2.49. Have you tried Morrisons steak and ale with cheesy mash ding meal? 400g, £3.75 each but they are on offer now 2 for 6 quid. They are really tasty and plenty of steak in them and slippage juice 😁

You should try some Shana Parathas. They are available in Sainsburys, in the frozen section, although you might have to look for them. I always have one or two with my supermarket curries. Just bung em in a dry flying pan for a couple of minutes each side until they puff up, bloody lovely especially with a hot curry as they are a bit sweet. Just not sure if they are available in all Sainsburys though. You get a pack of 15 for £3.95. Bargain. Also use them for large homemade prawn purees. Now I'm hungry.....Lol

I always cut the chicken pieces in half as most of them are a touch too big (for me anyhow) and like someone else mentioned adding a large chopped mushroom increases the portion size. I'd agree with your score of 9/10 as Iv'e never had a bad curry readymeal whether it be Korma, Madras, Jalfrezi or Vindaloo, theyr'e all good.
