Mystery surrounds sudden disappearance of affordable dinner favourite from freezer aisles
- Replies 0
Shoppers have noticed something missing from the freezer section, and it has left many wondering what happened.
A popular budget-friendly meal seems to have quietly disappeared, sparking plenty of questions from loyal fans.
Now, customers are trying to figure out if it will ever return.
For $3.69, this creamy, tomatoey, and oh-so-satisfying butter chicken was a go-to for lunch or dinner, especially for those of us who appreciate a good feed without the fuss.
But recently, eagle-eyed ALDI shoppers noticed something was amiss.

‘Frozen butter chicken gone?’ one asked, echoing the thoughts of many.
‘I went to buy some yesterday. Sold out,’ another lamented.
‘I can’t find it either,’ a third added, clearly feeling the pain of a butter chicken-less existence.
According to ALDI, the disappearance is due to a supply issue. A spokesperson confirmed they’re working closely with their supply partners to get things back to normal as soon as possible.
The good news? The product is still listed on ALDI’s website, which suggests it’s not gone for good—just taking a little holiday from the freezer aisle.
One optimistic Redditor reassured fellow fans: ‘Unavailable from supplier so it’ll be back, just have to wait.’
So, fingers crossed, this cult favourite will return soon!
If you’re craving that butter chicken fix and can’t wait for ALDI’s version to return, don’t worry—there are plenty of other options out there, though you might have to fork out a little extra.
While none quite match the $3.69 price tag of ALDI’s International Cuisine meal, they’ll tide you over until your favourite is back in stock.
Butter chicken isn’t just a freezer favourite—it’s Australia’s most popular Indian dish! With its creamy, mild tomato-butter sauce, it’s often described as a ‘gateway’ to more adventurous Indian flavours.
It’s the perfect comfort food, especially for those who like a little spice but not too much heat.
ALDI’s ready meals have become a lifeline for many, especially for over-60s who want something quick, tasty, and affordable.
And it’s not just ALDI—Australia’s ready meal market (including both frozen and chilled options) is booming.
According to the CSIRO, it’s expected to grow from $2.7 billion in 2018 to a whopping $3.7 billion by 2030. That’s a lot of butter chicken!
