Tuesday, 9 June 2009
LONDON, June 8 (PTI): Recession has severely hit the 3 billion pound Indian restaurant industry but Britons continue to be hooked on to their favourite spicy curry with cheaper ready- made Indian meals flying off the shelves in supermarkets and corner stores.
The numbers of people visiting Indian restaurants is down, but industry figures show that entrepreneurs who have switched to supplying ready-made Indian meals have seen their business soar - and some are struggling to meet supermarket demands.
It is considerably cheaper to buy ready-made Indian meals from supermarkets or from takeaways.
