There's nothing better than enjoying one of the nation's favourite food dishes.

I got to try Pinch, a new food brand specialising in exciting Indian dishes. Pinch has just launched in Tesco where I got to try samples of the new food.

The Pinch range takes inspiration from modern Indian fusion and street food to provide a delicious at-home alternative to a restaurant meal, without the high cost.

Some of the dishes include, Sensational Saag Paneer & Coconut Basmati Rice, Rich Railway Lamb Curry & Coconut Basmati Rice, Flavour Flamin' Overloaded Chicken Tikka Naan and Magic Masala Spiced Chips & Pink Velvet Dip.

The microwave meals are a quick and easy meal to enjoy at lunchtime or dinner and the curries all cost £4.50 each.

Trying the Flavour Flamin' Overloaded Chicken Tikka Naan I was left feeling a little underwhelmed hoping it would pack a punch with the flavour.

The Rich Railway Lamb Curry & Coconut Basmati Rice had plenty of depth in terms of flavour with the lamb tender and coconut rice adding a touch of sweetness to the dish.

A highlight of the new range is the Magic Masala Spiced Chips & Pink Velvet Dip. For those love a spicy kick to their food this dish hit the spots and gives a playful twist to the potato dish.

Pinch also do sides such as Pinch Bombaylicious Potato Bombs, Pinch Sizzle & Spice Chicken Tikka ​& Bombay Potatoes​ and Pinch Spiced Sweet Potato & Creamy Coconut Samosas​ which both cost £3 at the supermarket giant.

Yet again, both of these lacked the flavour of traditional Indian cuisine.

The stand out item of the bunch was Kickin’ Fried Chicken & Pink Velvet Dip​ which comes in at £3.75 at Tesco.

The chicken was tender and delicious and just had the right amount of spice to satisfy the tastebuds.
