Ready-made chicken tikka masalas may look the same but they can vary greatly in their fat and salt content, warns the Consumers' Association.

It found huge variations between different versions of the curry and four other ready-meals sold in 10 leading UK supermarkets.

Some products contained three times the fat per 100g and up to nine times the amount of salt of their rivals.

The association says shoppers should take care over which meals they buy.
