Product: Tasty Bite Punjab Eggplant – $3.29+
Mmmm…Indian food!
Mmmm…easy, quick Indian food.
This isn’t the first Tasty Bite meal that I’ve had. This is the second. And for the second time, I have been wowed by the simplicity and flavors that have been packed into one microwaveable meal, concealed in a pouch. Yeah…I wouldn’t be expecting much either, but what this meal lacks in packaging it makes up for with intense Indian flavors.
No joke.
I don’t joke about my food. Especially Indian food, which happens to be one of my favorite cuisines to indulge in. Honestly.
I bought a bag of jasmine rice awhile back and find that this is the perfect accompaniment to these dishes. Steaming up a batch of it is easy. Then just reheat the rice with a splash of water before giving this entree a quick zap in the microwave. Honestly, the entire meal is ready in less than five minutes. It’s perfect for those nights where you want something substantial, healthy, and a little bit spicy.
The Punjab Eggplant entree brings the flavor of Indian food with typical spices infused into it for the perfect bite each time. With a delicious blend of salt, coriander, chiles, ginger, cumin, turmeric, and cloves, the heat of this meal is not too intense, but evident. It’s the perfect spice level. I wouldn’t mind more, but I’m a spicy girl who loves a good deal of heat. The eggplant is soft, delicious, and pairs well with the flavors that are incurred with the inclusion of tomatoes, onions and garlic. It’s a tasty bite of Indian goodness with simplicity.
As with most (not all) of Tasty Bite’s entrees, the Punjab Eggplant is gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and kosher. YAY! This makes it a great go-to choice for an Indian meal that has proven to be far superior to the frozen entrees I’ve had in the past.
As a busy, on-the-go, kind of girl, quick meals are sometimes a necessity. This particular one only sets me back 150 calories. And all it took was about 2 minutes in the microwave and some rice to go with it. It’s that easy, that fast. And yes…it really is that amazing.
Tired of getting your Indian food from the freezer? Look no further than the shelf at your grocery store. Tasty Bite is there. And…for the record…the Punjab Eggplant is phenomenal.
