Oh my! This is a winner. It’s as good as TJ’s Paneer Tikka Masala. And that is very very good.

For all practical purposes this is just about the same as TJ’s Garlic Rice Noodle Soup Bowl. The major differences are; this one has a little less sodium (salt), but still 1250 mg per bowl, and lacked a “vegetable packet”. Since the label says there’s a vegetable packet (spring onions) in the kit, and since mine was missing, I should call this Spring Onion-less Soup Bowl. But I won’t quibble.

Trader Joe’s Indian Fare are quick and easy dishes suitable for a lunch, especially at the office. The main problem with most of these is, they are more like a sauce than a meal. TJ recommends they be eaten with rice, naan (Indian bread), pita bread or tortillas. That makes them a better meal, but also makes it more difficult to use as a quick office lunch. The main advantage to most of these is, they can be stored in a pocket-book size box at room temperature until opened, heated and eaten. Preparation involves no more than tearing open a heavy-duty plastic and foil pouch, emptying the contents into a bowl and microwaving for a minute or two. All of these taste good. Most have a medium heat. All will allow a little more variation into what we eat as everyday food without adding a lot of complication or expense. All are priced at either $1.99 or $2.19.

Pretty good stuff. Nothing to write home about, but then worth a rotation on your lunch menu.

A mild almost sweetish broth with some unobtrusive rice noodles makes for a quick and inexpensive lunch. The only problem is the 1340 mg of sodium (salt) per bowl. But still, not bad for 99 cents.
