Leon Grocery has expanded its portfolio of microwaveable pouch meals with the addition of a new Red Thai-Style Lentil Curry, now available at Sainsbury’s and Ocado.

The NPD combines lentils with creamy coconut, green beans and edamame, aiming to deliver aromatic Thai red curry-inspired flavours in a convenient, quick meal offering. It contains 11g of plant-based protein and 9g of fibre per serving, designed to provide a ‘satisfying and nutritionally balanced’ option for busy consumers.

According to Leon Grocery, the curry – which carries a ‘two-chilli’ spice rating – offers a ‘warming yet approachable’ kick, balanced by the richness of coconut cream and fresh green vegetables. It is 100% plant-based and can be enjoyed with rice, flatbreads or additional vegetables for a versatile lunch or dinner option.

The launch builds on Leon Grocery’s existing range of microwaveable meals, which includes Keralan Lentil & Chickpea Curry, Brazilian Black Beans, Golden Lentil Dhal and Katsu Curry Beans.

Miriam Rose, head of grocery at Leon, said: “We want to make it as easy as possible for people to enjoy food that is full of flavour and packed with plants, even when they are short on time”.
