If you're anything like Product Junkie, there are times when nothing quite hits the spot like some good old fashioned British grub.
Ah yes, with its diced steak and kidney pieces suspended in a rich, thick gravy spilling from a suet pastry case, steak and kidney pudding - or 'babby's yead' if you hail from North West England - is surely the epitome of British comfort food.
But wait, here's a bit of innovation. Someone's only gone and crossed it with that Brummie favourite, the balti.
That clever someone is frozen foods producer Glendale who has added Chicken Balti Pudding to its Great British Pudding Company range of Steak & Kidney, Lamb & Mint and Steak, Mushroom & Ale.
The curry filling in the 370g portion is spiced with cumin, cardamom and coriander while the golden suet crust contains kalonji seeds.
So it's hats off to Glendale for tweaking a successful formula to create an Anglo-Asian spectacular.
Mind you, Product Junkie can't help thinking that perhaps the curry filling of choice should have been chicken tikka masala. After all, it is supposedly our national dish.
