Lamb Bhuna & Saffron Pilau Rice

What is it?

Tender pieces of lamb sit in a thick bhuna sauce, with saffron pilau rice alongside. Usually found in the Sainsbury's frozen meal range, it comes as a ready meal meant for the microwave or oven. Bhuna sauces are cooked down to a fairly dry, concentrated texture, so the gravy clings to the meat rather than pooling around it. Compared with other Sainsbury's curries, this one pairs the spiced lamb sauce with rice already mixed through with saffron for colour and aroma.
