The top 10 vegetarian ready-meals

Waitrose Vegetable Curry

With a firm, medium hot kick to it, this is a great vegetable curry which could easily pass for having been delivered by your local curry house. A varied mix of clearly identifiable vegetables including courgettes, cauliflower, mushrooms and potatoes are served in a creamy tomato sauce, making this perfectly fine as a substantial dish on its own, if you haven't got the time to cook rice to go with it.
