Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(Why do Indian meals never taste as good when bought from a supermarket?),it will help you,my kids.
When you buy a meal from an Indian takeaway such as a chicken Dansak or Jalfrezi or Pathia, they always have a certain taste, which is delicious and can't get enough of, but when you buy them from a supermarket they always seem to be lacking a certain taste and you usually end up disapointed. What is this taste which is missing?
Answer:
I think there's two reasons...
1. Your favorite Indian restaurant has worked the dish to perfect it... based upon "family secret" recipes. The supermarket just throws stuff together to make a similar dish... similar but very generic.
2. The Indian restaurant will have the special equipment needed to make a dish... such as a tandoor. The supermarket won't spend the money to buy specialized equipment.
because the supermarket staff don't masturbate into it
Does Mass Production mean anything to you???
cuz they ain't fresh, buying ingredients and making it yourself always has a little different taste than buying from a resturant.
Your cooking skills are lacking. I have no trouble buying curry pastes and making my own yummy currry....
1 you have to cook it yourself
2 pre packaged food loses flavour
3 ingredients not fresh
4 the people at a India takeaway generally care about the food and know what to do and how to cook it. Where as supermarket food is generally shoved into containers on a assembly line
If you think about it, most indian restaurants are run and catered for by Indian people who obviously know how to cook the food. Indian meals bought from a supermarket are mass produced in factories with all sorts added to them. Do you think an Indian person would agree that it was traditional to put sultanas or raisins in a curry? No, I dont think so. Why dont you have a go at makin some Indian cuisine for yourself? Get a cook book that was written by someone who knows first hand what traditional Indian food is and then go to a shop (not supermarket as they stock very ''English'' versions of the proper ingredients) and buy what you need. (Saying about the supermarkets, Tesco are getting better, they have quite a bit of traditional Indian ingredients on sale now)
Hope I helped you ! xx
Because the ones from the takeaway are cooked fresh, the ones in the supermarket are cooked in the factory, then you go home and nuke them again, ruins the flavour, the supermarket ones will contain more than just meat and spices etc, chemicals and flavour enhancers that are crap will also be listed on the ingredients
No bacteria or snot!
Because anything not homemade tastes like crap. It probably is because they freeze it, which takes alot of the flavor away. That goes for any kind of food.
Indian meals are best served freshly prepared then served. Try making some yourself for best results. You never really know when they made it or how long it has been sitting on the self. Go on-line or a cook book to find recipies that spark your interest and go nuts!!!
Probably because it is not authentic. I've never bought it from the supermarket before. I either eat it from this restaurant where I know the owner/chef who is actually Indian, or I eat it at home when my dad makes it who by the way is Indian. Plus we have secret ingredients that we put in our food that most chefs don't know about.
Because the "chicken" in ready meals in supermarkets consist of only 7% chicken, 49% water, 20% artificial sausages, 15% recycled toilet paper and 9% "other"
It's the same with all takeaway food,like chinese,pizza's and burgers,they all taste great from the takeaway,but if you buy them in the supermarket,they don't taste half as good.Homemade food tastes better.
because thy cook it much better ready to sell!!!
its like saying when you buy roast chicken in the shops it doesn't taste like KFC or coke other than Coca Cola///secret know how
Not fresh ingredients.. There are alot of preservatives in the shop ones also.
Nothing like the real fresh stuff.. mmm
becuz supermarkets make them, indians make better curries...
EAT FRESH: try these recipes at home

The "todhka"...its the oil/herbs/garlic/marsala we use at first ...
Hot food can't be kept cold. Try buying your takeaway and put it in the fridge and eat it the next day, they don't make it fresh for nothing.
Everything is fresh from the take away. The people that make it are real Indian people, not some whitebread that bought the company.
specialized cooking..hello?

Why do Indian meals never taste as good when bought from a supermarket?
When you buy a meal from an Indian takeaway such as a chicken Dansak or Jalfrezi or Pathia, they always have a certain taste, which is delicious
Try this recipe, and you will not be disappointed. Great over chicken and rice or pasta.

i enjoy a good curry but i put it in the fridge and serve the next day and it tastes much better. i think because all the spices have had a chance to absorb in to the meat. In takeaways they have some dishes that are cooked slowly for a long time .try my tip and your curry should taste better.Its all to do with time.Thats what makes a g8 curry.
cause it had cooled down and then reheated agin not realy a good combo
Quality masalas, and hand stirring.
