    I noticed this in the Indian ready meal section of a new (big*) local Sainsbury’s. I intend to call back today and buy one and all the necessary curry accessories.

    Has anyone here on STW tried one of these and care to comment?

    No, but I did recently attempt the Wetherspoons Chicken Vindaloo. I nearly died.

    Did you not cook it for long enough?

    We’ve got a BOC plant up the road so I had this delivered earlier.

    Have to say I enjoy their curry/rice meals a hell of a lot, always keep a couple in the freezer for a ‘ready meal’, normally cook em up from frozen in the oven but even microwaved there pretty good.
    We grabbed a couple of different ones £10 for 4 main and a couple of side dishes the other night, and though I don’t remember exactly what we bought (mains only no rice) I was surprised to find the ‘heat’ of the spices pretty reasonable.
    Give it a go, you might like it…

    I dint try it but my wife tried the Phal the other night she said it was really spicy and she is a chilly fiend!! We normally get vindaloo/madras from local curry house, and she puts chilly flakes on everything! so if she says it is spicy then it probably is!!

    The ASDA vindaloo takes some beating IMO – would be interested to hear reviews of the OP…

    Fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed this dish and it got my nose running. Way hot enough. Best supermarket curry I’ve ever had. Great offer on at the mo’ too. Four mains and two sides for a tenner. I saved over eight quid. Go to sains today.

    Sorry, can’t really comment as my local Sainbury’s is small and I’ve never tried a big one to be able to make a comparison.

    On the subject of food you are likely to see twice, I just had some donner meat from the local chippie. It looked like wood shavings with crispy edges.

    I still ate it though 😳

    Tried one of the Sainsbury’s phal tonight, it’s not a phal it’s no way near the intense heat and spicyness and the the chicken was dreadful.

    Same goes for any prepared meals. As long as it doesn’t kill me I don’t really care 🙂

    The sainsburys phal is just a hot madras, get yer hands on a naga chilli based curry, now you are talking (if you like hot food and a hot ring in the morning)

    I had one last Sunday, IMO it’s about as hot as a vindaloo from my regular curry emporium.

    Very tasty though.
