Tikka masala is the UK's favourite curry - with 43 per cent admitting they can't handle anything spicier.
It was voted number one in a poll of 2,000 adults which saw korma and butter chicken – both also on the milder end of the spice scale – come second and third.
But notoriously hot dishes such as vindaloo or phaal are nowhere to be seen in the top 10.
Commissioned by Onken ahead of National Curry Week, October 7 to 13, the research found 89 per cent of adults eat curry.
Following the poll, Paddy McGuinness teamed up with the yogurt brand to create a ‘Curry In a Hurry’ menu with Masterchef 2024 winner, Brin Pirathapan as part of its ‘Feed Your Inner Happiness’ campaign.
Paddy said: "I’m heading off on tour soon, and trust me, the temptation of a takeaway curry is real."
