Vegetarian Kofta Korma
One of my favorites. Very filling.

Classic Butter Chicken
Pretty good, the rice was a bit undercooked

Paneer Lababdar
Honestly the best pre-packaged meal I've had. Fantastic seasoning, and the textures for the dish and the rice were better than I've ever gotten from something I microwaved.

Vegetarian Kofta Korma
This is nothing like a kofta. It was the worse I’ve eaten.
