Review: Tasty Bite Aloo Palak Ready to Heat Meal

Aug 31st, 2009 Posted in Gluten Free Food, Product Reviews, celiac living, celiac shopping, gluten free diet | Comments Off

Recently I noticed a new ready to heat item offered at Amazon, a new product from Tasty Bite. Tasty Bite offers ready made foods from India. I've often used their products in the past because I like curry and other types of Indian cooking. They have always indicated which of their items are vegetarian, vegan, and/or gluten free. Since this item is both vegan and gluten free it meets my requirements. Best of all it is delicious. This is not a very spicy product, in fact some might say it is not spicy at all. But the spinach and potatoes do come through (Aloo means potatoes and Palak means spinach). It immediately became my favorite Tasty Bite item.

Previous products from Tasty Bite came in a foil lined pouch that could not be put in a microwave oven, this new product is in a plastic pouch and it comes out just right after 60 seconds in our average-powered (1KW) microwave oven.

As with all other ready to heat meals of this genre, I always have mine over a half bowl of rice, and this product goes very well with rice. It gives me Happy Tummy and it tastes good too. I'd give it 4 stars, it could get one more if it was a little bit spicier.
