Vegetable Upma

I didn’t know what to expect when I bought them, but after trying them, I intend to buy more.They’re quick & easy to prepare, as well as being delicious.

Good enough. Too bad there is no 3-m boiling water option, as in similar products. You have to heat it in a pan or microwave only. Useful tip: add a little more water than recommended and two teaspoons of olive oil before heating. Otherwise, it'll be too dry. But not bad at all, and you get more upma than similar products.

These were a dried rice flake or semolina. All were preserved with sunflower oil. I didn't note any other preservatives except 2 of the 5 had salt also.The added herbs were quite impressive. I had not seen so well an arrayed ayurvedic herbal choice. All were about 450 calories with over 10 g protein.Its likely the quality of the herbs creates a different scale than food in other cuisine genres. Each bowl had about 8 added herbs to the carbohydrate and sunflower oil.

I did not like the taste. The rice is pulverized and it just looks like a bowl of brown paste.

I personally did not like these. Directions seemed odd. If you add the water to the line inscribed on the cup - then the contents are dry........do not mix. More water is needed. Also found the contents all mumbo-jumbo-----not sure what was there. It was the tiny black dots (some flavoring) - that turned me off. Just didn't mix up in an appetizing way in my opinion.

I bought these several times. The portion is decent sized, but it isn't really overly larger or overly small either. Medium sized. I like the taste of it though I might see how it might not be everyone's preference. It's a foreign dish so not everyone is going to like it. I bought it over five times and will continue buying. I like it.

Not for me. I was hoping for more flavor, was not expecting the mushy texture.

I went on a buying binge for long shelf life, easy to make food when lockdown hit.Schezwan:This stuff is not what I expected when I got it. Im use to the tasty bite, instant indian food that all taste pretty much the same (lets be honest). Im not sure where the Schezwan part comes in other than its kinda spicy. Not enough to make your lips warm, but when it hits your stomach, you can feel the little bit of warmth to it. The flavor is pretty amazing for being vegetarian instant food. I cant identify any of the spices, but it all works out. Which makes for a new refreshing flavor that you arent already sick of.Tangy:This is my favorite so far, by far. I honestly was freaked out by the peanuts at first - Im not a fan of cooked peanuts in my food.The taste is so unusual and amazing though, the peanuts really add a nice hint to it and they arent crunchy, just softened up a bit. The addition of the curry leaves is what makes it incredible though.Never had them before trying this despite loving curry in its traditional forms. The leaves dont taste like what I thought they would. They are like a burst of fresh vegetable flavor. They are balanced perfectly though, not too much and not too little.I super recommend this stuff. Its very filling, you dont get hungry an hour or two later, and its very comforting when you want something warm but not soup, and are too lazy to make anything else. Takes like 3 minutes once you add the hot water for it to be ready.I wasnt sure about it when I first tried it - the flavors are so unique, but by the end of the cup, I was at my pc ordering more.Doesnt taste like Chinese, and doesnt taste like Indian from a real restaurant to me (It may taste like Indian and I just havent had the pleasure of trying that region of India yet).The consistancy is like stovetop stuffing if you add to the water line it suggests. I like to add to the "T" in "Water" on the marker for consistency more like cheddar rice or VERY fluffy stuffing once it absorbs the water. - Almost double the water it tells you to use. Adjust accordingly.I hope they add more flavors to the poha line like Tangy and Schezwan. The mix of spices that arent common is a really nice break from every other instant food that is available.
