Indian starter and bread recommendations please

[TheDogsMother]

Supermarket samosas and bhajis can be a bit hit and miss, as can the breads. Can anyone recommend really good ones please ? Unfortunately I don't have the skills or time to tackle making them myself.

The clay oven Naan breads are the best, I buy them from Morrisons or Tesco. They're usually near the bakery section. I'm also a big fan of Morrisons bhajis and pakoras from the deli section or counter.

If you can go to an Indian supermarket the frozen parathas are excellent and just a couple of minutes each in a pan. Maybe outdated knowledge now, but I tried the Spice Tailor naans a few years ago expecting them to be better than the standard supermarket ones, but they weren’t good at all.

Could you get some from a local restaurant rather than supermarket?

These are the Clay oven Naan breads they're really big but completely different and much nicer than any other shop bought Naan I've ever had.

I’d go to a local restaurant tbh. Supermarket doesn’t compare

We use those naan breads too
The Mrs Umis pakora is good - we buy onion, veg, chicken and haggis ones

Sorry, Mrs Uni

I get them in asda or Morrison's

Haggis pakora ! Love it. Thanks for all these great suggestions. Supermarket naans can be like damp duvets so good to see there's some decent ones out there. I hadn't thought about local restaurants either but that is an idea.

I second frozen parathas, they are delicious! I can get them in Morrisons but live in a fairly Asian area.

A wild card bread option from me is Sainsburys mini naans but cooked in the toaster and brushed with butter afterwards.

I can’t recall any Indian starters from a supermarket that has really impressed me. But I am a snob for Indian food and absolutely spoiled living where I do!

M&S bhajis, samosas,pakoras etc are pretty decent, the chilled ones

I know what you mean Summa. I used to live in an area with a big Asian community and loved being able to walk to the nearest shop to get fabulous food.

Thanks for the other suggestions too.
