I love the India  rice  pudding and then I saw this here from UK and I had to try both the Custard and Rice pudding and both were so good and they put the pudding in a  special can inside to it's fresh when you get it. I loved this pudding and the Custard but be careful you can get addicted to it.

I  read the reviews before I brought this product and I love the chocolate shake, I have not tried to make it in the pudding form  yet.

This ready-to-cook Khichadi is one of the few rice/grain type of foods that is not addictive yet taste very good and is very easy to cook.  Apparently the seasoning blend helps control hunger for a day or two after eating it.  It's very important for me to have control over hunger so I can eat a healthy diet.  I never buy the commercial ready-to-cook rice mixes because they tend to be addictive.

I'm disappointed that the Dr. Jay's AyurFoods Khichadi isn't available at Amazon as of April 20 2018.  I hope to purchase it as soon as it becomes available.

I'm disappointed that Dr. Jay's AyurFoods Khichadi still isn't available at Amazon as of June 27 2018.

The rice dish was good tasting, flavorful. I made it as a side dish with sliced sirloin. However, my family would  prefer less sodium.

This was the Golden Lentil with Madras Curry.  A few weeks ago I tried a soup described as Golden Lentil with Madras Curry at a favorite restaurant-- Spats at the Blennerhasset Hotel if you ever get to Parkersburg, W.Va.  I raved about it. It was spicy yet subtle. The vegetables had been pureed for a smooth experience. I wolfed it down. Now I'm certain that it wasn't the recipe that Campbell's used in making this stuff.

There was nothing subtle about this soup.  The heat from the spices overwhelmed the taste of anything else that might be in it including the curry. Luckily the ambient temperature today is in the single digits, otherwise I would never have pushed myself to eat it.

Save yourself some pain and try another type of soup. Not recommended.

It tasted great. I'm mildly peeved that the pudding wouldn't hold any sort of shape. It became a sad little blob. Still was fun to make.

I mixed it with cauliflower and carrots  and spices  into a soup
and it came out fine

I am from coastal South Carolina where rice has been embedded in the culture for centuries.  A Boomer, when I was young, we most always had rice with dinner and supper and many people even ate it for breakfast although in my family, we thought of that as a character flaw-- fie, grits is what you SHOULD eat for breakfast..
I have always made rice from scratch and  avoided any sort of "quick" rice because it was deplorable BUT, I have to say that pre-cooked rice has finally gotten to the point where it is more than just edible.  I use this brand a lot with many traditional American foods and relish it although I have to admit that I also have started eating it with many of the types of pouched, microwave Indian food available on Amazon and in truth, SOME of that is so spicy that serving it over an oven mitt rather than rice would not make much difference.

It is day 1, i have ordered a 6 pack of this funny looking cereal that has such high praise.
I tried it this morning and laugh at the rumors. this would no way replace my faithful honey nut cheerios.
The others must have been weak and fell pray to this little box of cereal.
I'm sure this will be in the back of my pantry and forgotten in no time.

It's day 8, i have emptied my last crumb of this mystical, strawberry box.
Its not until now that i find myself wondering, "where did all the other 5 boxes go?"
Now i think about my mornings of unsatisfied strawberry flavors and i wonder if i am going to starve . . . until lunch.
Days will go by and i will be sitting here mourning from my unfulfilled, unsatisfied stomach.

It is day 9, i fear my thoughts from my last entry are coming to life.
The day comes slow of dreadfully, my old cereal has become unfaithful to me and haunts me for making it the underling to another.
I will try to continue on my days of suffering but i fear by next morning i fear i will no longer have to energy to write.

It is day 10, now i pray that i have the energy to continue this passage as i crawled my way out of bed.
Before i leave this world i want to give my last words,"Buy this cere........."

I received this and the black bean with rice.  Both are too spicy for me, so I won't be ordering again.  Since they came in a case, I will have to find some way to use them as a condiment and incorporate them into a dish.

Before buying this, I thought I loved Indian food. I also used to think I liked spicy food. These mixes have made me second guess both of those beliefs.

I've realized I like some indian food,but my sampling of Indian food has been limited to several indian restaurants and a few homemade dishes. Admittedly, this is not a very impressive resume. Usually when I order, I get the mildest dishes (saag paneer with lots of naan) in the mildest forms. I've ventured into the spicier curries and regretted it.

So, on to this product. These mixes were much too spicy for me and weren't the type of indian food I enjoy. Looking at the other reviews it is obvious many people love these mixes, and plenty of those people are indian themselves. So, take my review for what it is worth. If you aren't sure if you like indian food, or only like select mild dishes at indian restaurants, these may not be for you. If you know you like authentic indian food and don't mind spiciness, disregard this review and read the other ones.

I was going to give this 2 stars, because honestly the rest of these mixes are sitting on my shelf. However, I recognize that plenty of others with more experience in this category of food love these products, so 3 stars it is. Good luck, hope this helped!

Way, way too much work for me. I guess that is the price of cooking India, but really. I have an Indian son-in-law who cooks a lot. It is Indian, good and not life consuming.

I usually buy the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Kitchens-of-India-Paste-for-Butter-Chicken-Curry-3-5-Ounce-Boxes-Pack-of-6/dp/B000V17MLS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Kitchens of India Paste for Butter Chicken Curry, 3.5-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)</a>, but thought I'd try this one.  I am a bit disappointed because I don't think it's as good.  However, I would not characterize it as bad either. It has a slight clove-ish flavor to it that I do not find unpleasant. Those who like really hot curry will probably want to add some chili flakes to it.

When making the KOI curries I add more meat than the recipe calls for, which extends the dish without loss of flavor.  I usually serve this over rice, but I think it's good also with potatoes and peas.  Skipping the chicken altogether, this curry paste could easily be used to make a very good vegetarian curry.

I will buy this again.

I love Indian food and often buy various curry pastes in a local Indian store.  I decided to try Kitchen of India Curries, and this Fish Paste was the first one I have tried.

I am attaching 5 photographs I took along my preparation.

The paste comes in a silver blister pack that can be stored without refrigeration for a long time.  So these packages are good to keep on hand when you need a quick meal. Photo shows blister pack just taken out of the package.

The second photo shows the paste removed from the package, so you can see the amount you get in package.
The recipe on the box tells us to add 2/3 of the cup of plain water and dissolve the paste.  Dissolved paste is shown on the next photo.  The paste dissolved easily, it only took a few minutes.
The fourth photo shows salmon covered with the fish sauce about to go into a microwave.
The fifth photo shows the cooked dish ready to be consumed with some rice.

Overall, I liked the flavors, however I found the sauce too salty for my taste.  I had scrape it off the fish to enjoy it more, however what penetrated the fish and a little of the sauce that was left mixed with rice tasted very good.

I think next time, I will try dissolving the paste in 1 cup coconut milk or 1 cup of water  (upping the amount recommended on the box) to dilute the salty flavor more.

The box said that there is enough paste for 4 servings, and in fact this was exactly right.  The amount you see in the photos will be 4 servings of fish.  Each serving of sauce is 45 calories.  I suspect it was less for me since I did not eat all of the source due to saltiness.  The amount of Sodium per serving is 580 mg.  I bought a variety pack, so I compared the amount of Sodium in Fish curry to other flavors from Kitchens of India, and Fish curry has the second lowest amount among the 6 flavors.  So this tells me to dilute the next one I try more than I plan to dilute this one.

So bottom line: I found the flavor to be pleasant, and the I believe the saltiness can be improved by using more water/coconut milk to dissolve the paste than recommended on the package.

I'll admit that I've never used this sauce to cook on the stovetop. I've just poured it over chicken in the slow cooker and set it on low. My awesome Indian dinner is done some hours later. Make a box of Jasmine rice, get a jar of the Patak's mango chutney, and it's just like takeout. Love, love, love this sauce!

While I do not have a lot of experience with Indian food I am very pleased with my purchases from this company.  I have purchased the Fenugreek Seeds, Garam Masala, Amchur, Asafetida and Curry Powder.  My husband has people come from India for training where he works.  I like to try to make a few meals for them while they are here.  They are either really polite or the meals are really good - they have raved about everything so far.  I have also really enjoyed everything I have made so far.  Everything has such an amazing aroma when it is cooking, it is impossible to not be starving by the time the food is ready!
