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

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.

I love these meals! They are easy to fix, great tasting and very satisfying!!!I've decided to do a subscription. Great for taking to work with you.

As someone who is from India, I can attest to the authentic taste of these meals. And I am so grateful for that. It's really easy to make and super useful for folks who are busy. The only downsides are the portion sizes and the fact that there is a dehydrated gel in the pack. The first pack I made, I emptied the whole thing into a pot of boiling water and I had to fish out the dehydrant. That was no fun

So happy I found these. They’re easy and delicious. I add protein and veggies to make them a bigger, fuller meal. I’ll definitely buy again.

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've eaten a lot of Indian food both pre-made & at restaurantsand 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 Paneerwhich is what meant to be in what I ordered, and while tasty, its prettymuch 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 IdlyAnd 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 packagedand 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.

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.

So I just had my third meal packet and it was pretty good. So far I have tried Sambar Idly,, Dahl tadka, and today, Pav Bhaji. They were all pretty good. Perfectly spiced, like what you would get if you ordered medium spicy at an Indian restaurant. They were all really easy to make. I was pleasantly surprised because I had no idea that freeze dried Indian food could be so good. So far it seems like each packet can comfortably feed two people. I will definitely be purchasing this again.
