Mattar Paneer

While tooling through the supermarket aisles an hour ago, I came across Amy's Organics Mattar Paneer. For those of you who don't know, Mattar Paneer is a delicious Indian dish with curried chickpeas, peas, carrots and such served with squares of paneer cheese and basmati rice. It's really one of those things you need to have fresh, but due to recent success with other microwave fare, I thought I would give it a shot.



Amy's did not disappoint. The spices were not too pungent, but not watered down either. Basically I needed a large drink but was not able to, as Lisa Simpson put it after eating Apu's food, "See through time."

I like that.

The paneer was chewy and rich and though rice was a little soggy, that was quickly remedied by stirring the whole mess together in a goulash of spicy Indian delights.



The best part about this is that Amy's uses organic and natural ingredients, which was proven by reading the ingredient list. You can actually pronounce all of them! Fantastic! Plus the meal was relatively low in sodium (780mg) which is hard to find with a frozen entree and low in fat (8g) as well. It's a bit pricey ($5) but considering it would cost more to get this at a restaurant with a fairly similar quality (and it can be nuked in 5 minutes), I think it's worth it.

So, as far as microwave meals go, I liked this one and wholeheartedly recommend it.



Go get one! MMMMM!!
