Taste Test: Flavour and Texture Review
There’s nothing better than a curry that focuses on taste over heat ♨️, as too much spice can ruin the dish for me. The curry is genuinely fantastic. I added a pinch of seasoning to make the flavour pop, but overall it was delicious.
The chicken 🍗 was tender and generous, and the edamame beans added a lovely contrast in texture. I savoured every last bite.

Let’s be honest it’s not the cheapest ready meal on the shelf. But you’re paying for quality. While it might not be an everyday dinner for most of us, it’s definitely worth treating yourself now and then.

Absolutely. It’s a standout gluten free ready meal with no hidden risks. The flavour is rich, the ingredients are fresh, and it’s 100% coeliac-safe. A little pricey, but if you’re after something fuss-free and delicious, this is the one.
