Every Indian ready meal broken down by pack, with creamy and tomato-based curries compared against NHS daily reference intakes.
Indian ready meals span a wider range than almost any other category, because the sauce base does most of the work. A tomato-based curry and a cream and coconut one can differ by double in calories for the same pack size.
Korma, tikka masala and pasanda are built on cream, coconut or ground nuts, which is where the saturated fat sits. Madras, jalfrezi, bhuna and rogan josh use tomato and onion bases and sit substantially lower.
The naming does not reliably signal this. A supermarket tikka masala and a korma from the same range can differ more than two curries from different brands.
Packs including rice carry more calories but often less salt per 100g, since the rice dilutes the sauce. Curry sold alone is more concentrated than the figure suggests once rice is added at home.
Naan, poppadoms and side dishes add meaningfully to the total meal. A curry with naan and a side can carry an adult's entire daily salt allowance.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown per serving and per pack, portion size comparisons, age-adjusted NHS daily reference intake calculations for children aged 4 to 17, an interactive calculator for your child's specific age and gender, and a complete ingredient and allergen guide.
