Kitchens Of India Ready To Eat Rajma Masala, Red Kidney Bean Currry, 10-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

When you love Indian food, but don't have the time to cook it, Kitchens of India is a really great alternative. I have yet to be disappointed in one of their dishes and this one is no exception. The great thing about Indian food is that they are mostly sauce (or "gravy" as they say), so I will cook up some meat or steam up some veggies and add one of these packets to make a fabulous meal. Their really aren't much in the way of veggies in these packets, but that is typical in Indian food, no matter where it comes from. American's tend to use gravy or sauce as the secondary component while Indian's use it as the primary component and sop it up with lots of bread or rice. By steaming or sauteing some additional vittles, you can really stretch one of these packets.

This was a bland and tasteless product. For the amount of sodium on the nutrition label (about 2000g per pouch!), they really managed to make a poor tasting product. I would steer away from this. If you really want good Indian food, go to a restaurant. If you want a can of beans, then buy this.

If you've ever eaten Indian food in a good restaurant in India, you'll especially appreciate KOI's quick-fix packages. These are very tasty, a good value, and easy to prepare. This one's my favorite of the Kitchens of India recipes (neck-and-neck with Dal Bukhara). I like to pressure cook some brown rice (black japonica is even better!) with some lentils and fenugreek seeds (easy on those -- strong flavor), then add a package of the prepared mix. (It's also fine to eat right out of the package.)

For 50% off, this product was a steal... I've even bought at the full price. Excellent vegan Indian meal. Great for college students or people on the run.

Vegan. Natural. Kosher Pareve. This rajma masala can be compared to a typical spicy bean chili, India-cuisine style. Was very pleased to try one of my favorite Indian dishes as a vegan product from Kitchens of India. Beautiful & amazing over organic brown rice. Rajma means kidney bean. Masala mean spice. Very flavorful. Indian foodies will find this recipe medium or typical, but others may find it on their spicier side. Highly recommended. Made with tomatoes, onions, red kidney beans, sunflower oil, garlic, spices, salt, & ginger. 300 calories and 12g protein per package. Product of India.
