Product: Tasty Bite Tandoori Rice – $3.29+
Rice can be tricky. There is a fine line between overcooked and undercooked. Overcook it and it turns to mush. Under cook it and it can be crunchy and hard. And don’t even get me started on seasonings and the like.
But that’s why Tasty Bite takes the guess work out of it for you. Honestly.
I know…rice from a microwavable pouch…how good can it be? But believe me when I tell you…it is fantastic. For one thing, the rice is so easy to make. Just vent the bag, microwave for 90 seconds, and pour into a bowl after the beep. Honestly. It really is that simple.
So…how good is it?
Well, for one thing, as it heats up in the microwave…it smells freakin’ fantastic. You really get that aroma of Indian spices. Those that are actually incorporated in this easy meal are cumin, coriander, ginger, and garlic. All amazing scents on their own, but pair them together in an Indian dish and it’s sensory overload in a very, very good way.
Once the packet comes out of the microwave, you simply fluff the rice with a fork, dish it out (there are two servings in each pouch) and dig in. Yes…it really is that easy and, yes, it really is ready in 90 seconds. When you’re in a hurry…what more could you ask for. And the night I made this, I needed to get over to Louisville to run with my running group and traffic always makes me late. I was determined to get there in time. This was the answer I needed to that dilemma.
And so…per my usual instructions to all of you, I dug right into this rice dish. And I was really impressed with the seasoning and flavor that came with each spoonful. Not too spicy. Just mild overtones of the Indian spices that people are familiar with. If I thought it smelled good, it tasted even better. And the rice was perfectly done. Yes..in 90 seconds. Perfectly cooked. Perfectly fluffy. Nothing out of sorts.
Just rice perfection. Tandoori style.
Craving a little bit of Indian flavor but don’t want to head out to a restaurant or make it yourself? Well, just grab a Tasty Bite entree and within 90 seconds, you’re ready to tuck into an amazing meal. And the Tandoori Rice happens to be vegetarian, gluten-free and kosher on top of it all. At only 180 calories and 2 grams of fat per serving…you can certainly treat yourself to a little Indian flavor right in the comfort of your kitchen.
Indian food is easy…in one Tasty Bite.
