Thanks, but the reason I buy this is because I literally have to do zero work. If I had to do anything you mention, including buying the ingredients, then I would never eat this dish. So while I might like it better if it is homemade, as is true when comparing any packaged item to homemade, I would end up never eating it. Comparing to homemade is a low-key troll.

But in the spirit of honesty, these are delicious and not horrible, as you claim. Also healthy and super easy to make, you heat them up in the pouch, you don't even have to take them out and risk a splatter mess while microwaving. Different strokes for different folks but these are worth every penny imo...

These taste horrible and give a bad name to Lentil curries. If you like this brand, then I guarantee that you are going to love making it fresh by a mile and realize how bad these taste. Lentil curries are easy to make fresh, taste better, cost very less and a lot more nutritious. Here's a recipe.

Adding peppers is optional. You just need cooking oil, lentils (you can buy them at any Indian or even a South American /Mexican /Asian grocery store), pepper powder (or paprika or Thai chillies) and salt. That's it. Everything else is optional including garlic, curry leaves, ghee etc.

I kinda rolled my eyes at their comment tbh. That's like saying homemade ramen or mac & cheese is better than the packaged stuff—duh Sherlock. People purchase this stuff for the convenience, not for some elitist nonsense.

I had a version of this "Indian food in a pouch" from the same company that I kept at work for lunch in a pinch. We were allowed to get all of our stuff from the office about 2 years later. I had it recently and it made me very sick. Not food poisoning, but bad. I would NOT suggest ignoring the "use by" or "expiration" date like my dumb ass did.

That being said: I bought this deal and will see how it turns out. Thanks for the post.

I've found Indian food to be way worse than other foods when bought off the shelf. Maybe I'm biased because I'm Indian but I've not liked any single shelf stable Indian food I've ever bought. That includes those sauces you get where you just have to add a protein to make an entree.

This entree is not the Indian equivalent of Ramen or Mac and Cheese though.

And I think nuclear power plants always have some leakage.

Those studies are correlational, not experimental. People who eat large amounts of ultra-processed foods also tend to engage in other risky health behaviors, which may explain the cancer link.

Regarding the pollution and nuke stuff...eh. US nuclear plants also leak tritium but it rarely if ever contaminates water supplies. If you're that concerned about it, don't eat any food produced anywhere. Tasty Bite products are grown on an organic farm that uses renewable energy sources, so as far as offenders go I think they're safer than most companies. And in terms of plastic, people drink bottled water without a care in the world despite the possibility of plastic leaching into their water...which tends to happen over time.

I guess like all things, the bottom line is moderation is key.

If I get quick to make Indian food, the Trader Joe's palak paneer is really good.

The tasty bites stuff is not that good.

I eat authentic homemade Indian food all the time.

Soon Mr Gates, will start serving food alternatives to us, and we while nit having much options will be pushed to take his "food" offers. Hope it won't end up this way, but ir is heading this way now. Farmers are paid to not to farm, others do less and less due to gas prices, Ukraine and Russia 30 % world wheat production, which will be missed this year.

Lots of folks probably rolled their eyes at your comment tbh. This is not comparable at all to ramen or mac & cheese.

This is still a tiny amount of lentils for $12, regardless of the ultra-salted spice cream they put on it.
