Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I like this particular variety fairly well, had it for lunch today, and it's my favorite of the spinach-based Indian shelf-stable pouch meals.
The picture on the package is pretty accurate for once*, lots of soybeans in a nice thick spinach sauce with a complex flavor and just a mild spiciness, no cloying sweetness here. The texture is nice, the spinach creamy but not like baby food and the soybeans are tender and distinguishable from the sauce in both flavor and texture, unlike the vegetables in some of the Tasty Bite varieties. I like to eat coriander pickle with it as it complements the taste well and brings the heat up a little. Supposedly the box is two servings but it is just the right amount for one as a main dish with rice and a piece of naan.
Ingredients from box:
Spinach, soybeans, tomatoes, onions, sunflower oil, cornstarch, water, garlic, ginger, salt, chilies, spices.
The tomatoes aren't detectable visually or in the flavor and I wonder if perhaps they use green tomatoes.
I am very suspicious of the nutritional information but here it is, note that there are two servings per box so double everything if you eat the whole 10 oz.:
Calories 110, fat calories 60, total fat 7g, sat fat 0.6 g, trans fat 0g, cholesterol 0 g, sodium 450mg (!!!), total carb 10g, dietary fiber 3g, surgars 2g, protein 5g.
Vegan, gluten free, no preservatives, no MSG, and it's kosher. If you're picky about your kosher, it's a little circle with a menorah in it that says "Kosher Inspection Service Certified".
One thing I do wish is that Amazon would arrange for this to be sold in just the foil laminate pouch without the little box to save on packaging. There is the foil pouch and then the individual box and then the case box and then the shipping box, just too much un-needed cardboard to be shipping all over the world. This is not affecting my rating even though it probably should.
*The picture is accurate except for the flower, you don't get the flower. The flower is part of the "Serving Suggestion".
