Tasty Bite - Gluten Free Indian Madras Lentils 10 Oz. 180536

I got these because the spicy version has been unavailable in my area for some time, and was here as well. These are mild, have a nice robust sauce, and they can be made spicy with my peppers or hot chili powders. I enjoy the consistency of these, they have a good mouthfeel as I eat them. Their ease of preparation makes them a great pantry staple for my home.

IT was ok, just not spicy enough.

As someone who orders Indian takeout many times a year, this tastes like the real thing. I love that it’s mild as I’m sensitive to spicy food. Even though I can easily cook my own lentils I’ve had a difficult time recreating my homemade food to taste like the restaurant so I believe this is worth the splurge. Even though it costs more than making your own bean stew, it’s flavorful and still costs less than takeout. I love how nutritious this is while being delicious. My only major complaint is the cardboard smelled disgusting like something spilled on it in the warehouse. Thankfully the pouches were fine though.

The product is great but the packaging it came in is not. The individual serving containers are fine but this order brought those containers in a display type box, like you would see in a store. This box doesn’t work in a pantry, the soup containers fall out. Won’t be ordering this from Amazon again. It also took four weeks to arrive!!

Yesterday, I made the tastiest lentil burritos in the world! Yes, and I do NOT love lentils! These packs are part of my emergency food collection. However, I ran out of breakfast yesterday and decided to try something different. Well, let me tell you, in a very short 10 min, I made the best brown rice spicy lentil breakfast burritos I've ever eaten! I keep a big bowl of grains cooked for each week. I grabbed my brown rice, added 1/2 of one pouch of lentils, to a large toasted burrito wrap I also keep for staples since you can buy 100 and they stay fresh forever, heated it up, added some fresh pickled cabbage I also make each month, a handful of mixed greens, feta cheese & onions, (takes no effort to make your own pickled cabbage, just a few ingredients thrown into a large glass jar or bowl) and WOW! Lentils do not need to be boring. The main thing I have learned here is about saying yes, instead of no to trying new tastes or foods I previously said no to, to consider trying newer options when they are available or present themselves. I used to say no to curry, well now I see I can have an open mind about using new spices I do not traditionally use and then start to use them myself.
