MTR Dal Makhani

The colour of the curry was quite different to the product picture and the beans were not black.

Anyway this is my favourite out of the MTR curries I have tried.

It tastes really similar to Chili con carne but without the meat, and there is so much pulses in proportion to curry sauce which made it immensely wholesome.

There were black beans and kidney beans.

I think I would have been happy eating it with toasted white bread.



MTR Navratan Kurma Vegetable and dried fruits curry

I don't know why, but I ate it straight from the packet without reheating!

Anyway it was the same as other curries in this range which were quite salty.

I was expecting it to taste quite fruity and tangy but it was just savory.

Overall it was not too spicy, but it reminded me of casserole because there was so much chunky carrots in the curry.

Apart from carrots, you could visually see lots of peas, french beans, there were about four pieces of cottage cheese which had the texture like boiled pig's liver!

There was one piece of cashew nut and the texture was interesting because it was soft instead of hard and crunchy.

The pineapple pieces were woody.

MTR ready to eat Palak paneer curry

A product of MTR foods:

Initially thought it was some Japanese brand pretending to be Indian because of the Japanese wordings, but after browsing the web it turned out to be made in India.

Usually with curries it comes in the form of sauce and meat needs to be added, however this is a vegetarian one so it can be eaten straight away after heating.

After heating it up, it smelt and tasted like the real thing from Indian restaurants.

It did not taste as if it came out from the pack, and the spinach tasted fresh too.

I am now tempted to try their other flavours as well and their other snacks, however not all can be found at the local supermarket.
