    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. 😋😋😋😋

      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

    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 👍

  • @jwsuicides8095
    @jwsuicides8095 Před rokem +12

    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.

      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!

    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.

    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 😊.

    Cheers Gareth this one gave me a good laugh, easily swayed 🤣 bet your socks were a bit stiff after the droppage, Pickle try 😍Cardamom pods are disgusting if you bite into them by mistake 🤢🤢

    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

    Hey Gareth, a quick life hack for you, get some scissors and cut the compatments apart. Makes it so much easier to dish up.
