I happened to buy some packs of ready meals when I was going out for a vacation to live with my non-compromising cousin. Shopping was window.google_render_ad(); done at Big Bazar and so I picked up some packs of MTR, Aashirwaad and Veetee.
Dal Makhani, being my favorite dish, I picked up one pack of the same dish by all 3 brands, namely MTR Dal Makhani, ITC Dal Bukhara and Veetee Dal Makhani. I tried the ITC Dal Bukhara the first day since I had heard so much about it. It was thick and had good consistency but had a strong taste of garlic, like it was overloaded. After eating just a half bowl, I felt like puking and my stomach felt so full. Maybe, they tried too hard to make it richer, thereby making it unsuitable for one to consume.
2nd day, I tried MTR. It was thin and ugly. I realized soon that it was a south indian’s attempt at making good north indian. well, sorry guys! You got this one terribly wrong. The packet was thrown without any consumption.
Finally, I tried Veetee Dal Makhani the third day and to my surprise, it had the right consistency, wonderful taste and amazing aroma. I cudnt have asked for more. Its microwavable pouch was a delight and easy to do.
So, folks. my advise is to buy Kitchens of India for non-veg. In North Indian, Veetee has really worked on their recipes. Its the new name in the industry and I wish them luck!
