An ode to TastyBite Indian Food

A couple of weeks ago UPS dropped off a 30 lb. box of Indian food from TastyBite. Every box has been absolutely delicious.

My personal favorites are the Kashmir Spinach, Madras Lentils, and the recently discontinued Curried Mashed Potatoes. They’re about $3 a box in the local supermarkets, but you can get them for as low as $2.09 a box when you buy them by the 6-pack online. And they do free shipping on orders of $50 or more. Twenty-four meals for fifty bucks is a pretty good bargain.

Most importantly, all of TastyBite’s vegetarian Indian foods are 100% Kosher. We’re hoping that someday they’ll also get rabbinic supervision for their vegetarian Thai products, too.

I’m not a big fan of the Malabar Mixed Vegetables. We bought a dozen of those because they were on sale for $1.25 apiece, but we haven’t enjoyed those as much as the more mainstream dishes. They’re a little too rich and creamy for my taste.

It’s a shame that TastyBite is no longer selling their Curried Mashed Potatoes dish. Those were absolutely fantastic. Fortunately, there are no shortage of recipes for Pav Bhaji available on the Net.

    I just tried TastyBites Punjab Eggplant tonight, while staying in an Extended StayAmerica on a business trip. I was SO impressed, I logged on to look them up, and came across your blog. Gotta agree with you, TastyBites rock! Glad you mentioned bulk shipments – I’m off to place my first order!

    I am completely intrigued by this post. But I don’t quite understand– what IS it??? Is it, like, frozen? Or dried up, like ramen? I must try some.

    Neither frozen nor dried. It’s in a foil pouch — it comes in a “soft can” if such a thing exists. Maybe I’ll take a digital photo or two. Like most Indian food, it actually doesn’t look very pretty, but it tastes quite good.

    An ode to TastyBite Indian Food

    As a HUGE fan of Indian food, a really crappy cook, and someone who codes into the wee hours, this is the next best thing i can do to sponsoring someone from India to come and be my personal cook.

    A good sized box of TastyBite food arrived today (it’s heavier than I expected), inspired by Michael Radwin’s ode to TastyBite Indian Food a few weeks ago. I ordered at least one of just about everything they sell that does not contain any dairy produ…
