Product Review: PC Indian Chana Masala


A few weeks ago when I was doing groceries, I spotted this frozen meal at the Superstore. I wasn't going to get it, since I usually cook enough for the week, and didn't need it, but Billy said I should get it for those busy nights or emergencies. Plus its fairly nutritional with lots of fiber and protein. This is the description given on the website: Chickpeas, onions and tomatoes accented with an Indian-inspired spice blend, with basmati rice on the side.

Well, last night was one of those emergencies. I worked until ten, and was supposed to head to a friend's house for St. Patty's. I was starving, so I stopped at home and picked up the meal. I made it when I got to her house, and everyone said it smelled great. And it tasted good too. The basmati rice was actually well cooked and didn't suffer any adverse consequences from being frozen. The sauce for the rice was just the way I like it: not spicy but lots of flavour!

I think I'm going to stock up on these, to encourage the store to keep them, and also for those nights where there's no time or I'm too lazy, but still want to eat healthy.
