Kitchens Of India Ready To Eat Dal Bukhara, Black Gram Lentil Curry, 10-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

These are so delicious and so convenient. I pack mine with some rice for work lunches and it makes my life so much easier. They’re delicious, especially if you add some chili oil. Also super excellent for the cold

Great easy to fix Indian lentil sauce. Curry without being too hot. Ate it plain over rice. Will try it with vegs mixed in next time. Good on its own or as a base. Good product. No diarrhea or tummy upset !! Very safe

Kitchens Of India Ready To Eat Dal Bukhara, Black Gram Lentil Curry. I bought a large variety pack. The curry simple and delicious with perfect spices and good value for money if you buy the 6 pack. The curry is fast & easy to prepare takes less than two minutes to cook. The authenticity and versatility is great over Rice as a quick meal for a good size with authentic organic ingredients. The heat level is mild on my spicy scale so I add a few drops of Capsaicin to spice it up to my liking.

My husband loves Indian food and is really impressed with these dinners, which we put over rice.

This is the first time I tried this brand, but couldn't pass it up on the Friday sale. The flavor of the Dal Bukara was okay, very acid-like it came out of a can vs. a pouch. Depending on your taste buds it has a mild to moderate heat. It was mild to me. To decrease the acid taste that made me think heartburn was soon to arrive, I added a 1/4 c of organic low fat shredded coconut. This tamed the acid flavor and I was able to finish it. Oddly one of my cats seemed to like it. It was very filling and the listed ingredients are healthy except the butter and cream. Personally I'm on a quest to eat more lentils and more anti-inflammatory spices which usually are present in yummy Indian cuisine. I will eventually eat the remaining 5 boxes, but I won't be reordering this flavor, but am willing to try another curry by this brand. So far I prefer the Tasty Bite brand as I have never been disappointed in any of the 6 or so products I've tried. The enclosed CD vol. 5 is produced by Virgin, features 2 classical duets with Shailesh Bhagwat playing the shehnai and Mukundraj Deo playing the tabla. Of course I had to open the other boxes to see if each contained a different volume. I did get one of each and two of vol.4. If you have not been exposed to instrumental Indian music these CDs provide a nice introduction.

After trying Kitchen of India's variety pack, as well as their Chili Pepper Curry and a number of products from other labels such as Tasty Bite, I have chosen to subscribe on a regular basis to Kitchen of India's Black Gram Lentils Curry as well as their Red Kidney Beans Curry. Of the two I prefer the lentil curry: it is simply the best packaged Indian product that I have tried. Since taste is certainly subjective (what is pleasing to my palate may be unpleasing to some one else and vice versa), I should mention that I have been a vegetarian since 1969, have a strong propensity for Indian cuisine that is not too spicy, and generally like anything which has whole grains and beans as a base.

One bite and it was on subscribe and Save! I bought th assorted six-pack from KOI. It was, overall, a mixed batch. The other legume curry -- Rajma Masala and Pindi Chana are both between acceptable and good, the Pav Bhaji is acceptable -- but not something I'd order a six-pack of -- and the Navratan Korma is wonderfully spiced, but the vegetables and even the cashews, are so overcooked as to be tasteless. (It did inspire me to consider trying to come up with my own version.) But the dal Bukhara is simply magnificent, the spicing -- which is powerful but not 'hot' -- works beautifully off the ingredients to make this a favorite. And yes, I've already received the first shipment of Subscribe and Save -- only one 6-pack every three months because I wanted to have room for other Indian foods without becoming swamped. One suggestion I'd make. Try this -- and most similar Indian foods -- on top of couscous -- particularly the Rice Select Brand of instant. The flavors work together, and there isn't the problem that some people have with rice. Definitely worth getting. (This review was by "Prup (aka Jim Benton)" even though it is under my wife's name.)

When I want a nonspicy dal this one is my FAV. But all the KoI flavors rock.
