bitewhentested Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 hi one thing iv missed living in the land of smiles for the last 6 or 7 years is a good British style Indian curry iv tried a few of the local places not much to write home about ok but not as good as back home but i was in rimping supermarket the other night and came across a frozen curry from a company called British curry nights i had chicken jalfrezi and a nan bread from the same company did not hold out much hope thought it would be ok at best but was amazed to find it was excellent just as good as any id ever had in the uk and being British iv eaten more Indian take aways than mother Teresa had flip flops it was that good iv been back since and filled my freezer and im on the look out for some nice red embossed wallpaper and a cheesy Indian cd to listen to while i eat lol i hope they start to do poppadoms that really would make my day as far as i know its a new venture so get behind them and give them a go they really are very good you wont be disappointed and will be back for more eat responsibly lol enjoy your day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP describes them as 'good British style Indian curry' and nicksal37 says 'this is as close as it gets' to real Indian food (having spent a lot of time in India). I've also spent a lot of time (years) in India and one of them is absolutely wrong. British style Indian curry is NOTHING like you would get in India! Come on guys own up, which one of you hasn't really tried them? Edited July 15, 2012 by uptheos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I'm still finding my way around this forum. There are various prices and in my opinion well worth the money - all the curries i have had up to now have had great quality meat in no skimping in any way - when you pick up a frozen food product you immediately think what's this going to be - i have been very impressed indeed - and to be honest for about 3 quid they are fantastic back in the UK they would be at least 6 quid from the take away and may be more. I had a Chicken saagwala the other night - chicken and spinach ( i like spinach) best I've had. These definitely are not authentic curries these have the British taste that we Brits are used to - well done to them and i hope they keep making. I will be one of their customers.

How long I lived in India is none of your business and I really couldn't care less if you've spent time going to and from the soyuz space station, the fact still remains that a good style 'British Indian Curry' is NOTHING like you would get in India. So, is curry nights your 'real Indian food' version or the OP's, as they are both completely different..... that's all I ask? You haven't tried them have you?

CMSteve Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 'uptheos' usually, you seem to be relatively "even-keeled" poster, but something about the curry threads brings out he fire in you. What's up? You've went from telling everyone about the curry issue has been discussed "Ad Nauseum" to having the highest post count in this thread. Then you decided that two different posters could not have two different opinions about their curry. ' You accused 'nicksal37' of not knowing what an Indian curry tastes like, he responds by telling you that he has been many many times, and this angers you? - ok maybe it was the point that he could obviously count as an expert in Indian curries... On top of this, you accuse the two posters of being liars that hasn't actually tasted the curry. - well, at least one of them.... A simple explanation could be that one of the posters has inadvertently eaten the one of competitions curries. It's an easy mistake as the packaging seems to be an almost exact copy....

Try Sausage King's Curries they are on par with these, I mix and match to get the combination that I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancy the packaging being almost the same, one needs to be careful when shopping.......could pick up a curry nights by mistake.

CMSteve Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I haven't tried either, nor bought either so couldn't say either way. But from reading the past thread about curries, it seems the consensus is to pay more for a better product...

uptheos Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) you pay your money and take your chance... i do prefer to pay a little extra and have a great meal that resembles back home or even better in some cases. So they're nothing like 'real Indian food eaten in India'? Good for you to get out as you're new here, there's more to Chiang Mai than frozen curries.....and barking dogs OTT springs to mind.
