- Variety Pack | 5 Authentic Indian Meals | Ready in 5 Minutes, Just Add Water | All-Natural, No Preservatives | Vegetarian-Friendly

My local Aldi‘s had coconut Greek yogurt that paired well with some of the spicier flavors. It would be fun if the company printed a pairing chutney recipe on the bag. As I am learning more on cooking with Indian flavors, this pack opened me to some dishes I hadn’t tasted before. I enjoyed these dishes immensely! Rice in the rice cooker, let the dog out, prepare water, add packet, and you have a simple finished dish. (Simplistic task of letting out the dog to emphasize ease 😅)

Delicious, flavorful rice, and super easy to make. Way better than the microwave rice packs you can get at the store.

Tasted pretty great - a bit pricy for the content received, but still quite satisfactory taste-wise

I love Indian food, and wanted something easy to make at home that would be closer to restaurant quality. Frozen meals and jarred sauces are fine, but they’re bland and taste like preservatives. So far from my Cumin Club variety pack, I’ve had the Pav Bhaji, Paneer Butter Masala, and Methi Matar Malai. The Paneer Masala and Methi Matar Malai are so good I can’t believe they’re not from a restaurant. Just the right amount of spice (not hot at all, I mean they used enough of the flavor spices), and so creamy! I served mine over microwaved basmati with cumin seed and a side of naan. Yes I know, it’s supposed to be either rice OR bread with the gravy entree, but this way makes it more filling and stretches the gravy a bit. This is a very generous portion for one person. Not quite enough for two, but they didn’t skimp on the product. For the price, the quality can’t be beat, from my experience. I’ve already been raving about these meals to my family, and I’m in the middle of eating the Methi Matar Malai right now, and just had to write a review. I’m not a vegetarian, but I don’t miss meat with these meals. I will definitely be buying more of these.

I've eaten a lot of Indian food both pre-made & at restaurants and of the 7 of these I have eaten so far. 2 were good, with a cavity. Methi Matar Mlali, was quite tasty, but the attempts to make it my self came out better. The Flat rice dish they gave me in the place of the Palak Paneer which is what meant to be in what I ordered, and while tasty, its pretty much just a rice pilaf, which you kinda can't screw up seasoned rice and butter. 2 where good. Paneer Tikka & Dal Makhani tasted good, but tasted pretty much the same. Which is odd cause I've had both else where and their flavor profiles have been polar opposites. 3 were just ok with little flavor but hot. Pav Bhaji, Soya Masala, & Sambar Idly And I am expecting the Dal Tadka to be the same. A bit of salt and they were ok. Last, these would be great apocalypse food. All and all they taste reasonably good and will last practically forever given how they are packaged and the lack of wet ingredients in the pack. In the apocalypse you'd be over joyed to have these. But for every day consumption there are better pre-made Indian food out there. If I could I'd give them a 2.5 stars, but I'll round it up.

Ok. I had my doubts but wanted to try. Dehydrated Indian food? Sounded weird at best. Guess what? It’s DELICIOUS. I love Indian flavors and Cumin Club delivers. You would never know it isn’t homemade. I haven’t tried all the meals yet, but I will. Just as good as my local Indian restaurant but made in my kitchen at about 1/2 the cost. Yum.

Unworthy of any more than one star because: These, at approximately $6.50 per packet, are not worth it in my opinion. I have purchased frozen Indian dinners from the shop that cost as little as $4+ with rice and a substantial amount of chicken and sauce and they taste superior. To me, these were like packets of survival food that barely was a cupful once cooked in the water. And the peas never got soft no matter how long they were boiled! Big disappointment.

I placed two separate orders for meals from The Cumin Club, and loved the first set of meals. The second set has more meals (8 in total) but their products are not well separated, and their 8 meals are individually put in a package. That's where the issue came, because they only sent me 6 of the 8. If they can improve that, I can say hands down that this has been the best Indian meal kit I have tried of all the ones so far. Quality is excellent, instructions are well written, and the food tastes phenomenally good. Kudos to the founders for achieving that! Ragoth and Harish need a little more time, but they will dominate this field because of their excellent quality items. You both have me as a customer for life. Please, please send me all 8 when I order next time. I'm adding your stuff as a subscription, guys. Kudos! Update: I just tried Sambhar Idli, and was blown away. I made it in a pan as per instructions, and not the microwave. If I were rich enough, I would buy the entire stock of Sambhar Idli. Delicious doesn't cover it. The spice level, the taste....oh my god. Brilliant work, guys! Even though you only sent me 6, it's worth the price just for this. Updating my review to 5 stars.
