What's your's?
M & S are so good!
The portions aren't as big as the Sainsbury's and ASDA meals i've had but the meals and naan bread are so much better.
The naans are rubbish from Sainsbury's and Asda and nothing like the ones from M & S, which are like the freshly made ones I get from local takeaway's.
It's like comparing a cheap sliced bread to a freshly baked loaf.
And the curries blow away the other's I've tried as well.
they are so nice I'd happily eat M & S Indian grub instead of a takeaway, tbh.
I've just eaten butter chicken and a garlic naan, chucked in the microwave and oven and it was almost as good as the local takeaways and restaurants.

i love the big pack asda hve
The best is probably morrisons flatbreads.
I would rather make my own fresh even if it's from pre-made dough. Just cooking it fresh will be a good inbetweener.
I have a cast iron pan and a combi oven grill so I can get good charring on flat breads - obviously still a world a way from a nice tandoori one.
Usually Patak's, unless there are better ?
Patak's microwave pilau rice is spot on.
Same here with the naan breads, tried nearly all supermarket brands and they have all been very average to say the least. Never thought about the flatbreads before to be honest, might give them a go.
Those Asda £3 efforts i mentioned above are deffo worth a try.
I've yet to find a takeaway in the local area that can beat the supermarkets for main dishes, it's so disappointing they are all greasy muck. The takeaways definitely have the superior naans, but it's just not enough to make me order from them (plus most in our area show as having failed their health inspection on the FSA site - bolk).
Sainsbury's meals are my fav, I find Asda's to be a bit hit and miss (though when they're good I do really enjoy them) and I've started just getting pitta bread instead.
I thought this until I had the M&S ones which are cooked in a tandoor, I'm sure.
They are no different to eating a cold take away naan and I live in the curry capital of the UK.
Sainsburys naan's are nothing like M&S ones, they are shit, and aren't even naan bread really are they. They are like some type of shit pizza dough like another poster said.
They are chewy, cripsy, and have proper blistering like a tandoor naan.
Sainsburys are like stodgy bread and f all like a proper naan bread.
Preferably with a garlic naan, as the seeds on the tandoori naan are overkill!
Sainsburys veg masala is nice, but that's their best for me...
And if I got a bit more cash - then I'm down at my local takeaway
I'm going to get two again the weekend and two garlic naans, and scoff the lot in one go. Mmmm..
The Waitrose ones are like that too - really nice. They're actually baked in the tandoor, or so they claim.
Best supermarket curry in my view are from the Co-op. Currently 2 x Tikka Masala for £5.00 and easily as nice as a Waitrose one but with much more chicken.
They also do Jalfrezi and Korma.
The one currently being sold half price for £1.75? that is DIVINE.
