Maya KaimalOrganic Indian Everyday Dal - Red Lentil 10oz - Fully Cooked with Butternut Squash and Coconut - Vegan - Microwavable - Ready to Eat Meals- Pack of 6USDA Organic

I can't say enough how much I really love Maya Kaimal's Everyday Dal! All the flavors are excellent and the ingredients are really top notch--nothing that's not real organic food! I feel so healthy and satisfied every time I eat this and it really is so delicious.I had tried these for the first time when they were on sale at my local supermarket and I just had to get more! I wouldn't complain if they were a little cheaper, but for the quality of the product, I'm willing to pay this much. As some reviewers mentioned, the consistency of the food varies from pouch to pouch--sometimes they're thinner or thicker--but I really don't think it affects the flavor and I still enjoy it. I think it just goes to show how natural the food is and the packets really give some good explanation about the product.They don't offer this as a cooking suggestion on the packet, but I just empty the contents onto a small frying pan and heat it up that way--I find that's the easiest way for me and it works great. I can easily eat one whole packet in one meal if I'm not eating much else as part of the meal, but unless you're not a big eater, you probably need to eat something else with it to feel full.There are 5 different flavors and the variety pack includes one of each plus an extra "Red Lentil, Butternut Squash, & Coconut", which is one of my favorite ones (you don't really taste the coconut if that's a flavor you don't like).My only complaint about this product is that it comes with so much packaging!! I'm not sure if this is actually something within the company's control or just an Amazon thing, but it's so wasteful and it makes me feel less good about this awesome product! I mean, the first time it got delivered, I felt like they were in a bunch of Russian nesting doll boxes because there was just box after box! The second time, it came in an unnecessarily huge box, which had another box in it containing the food. Very wasteful, in my opinion.All in all, I 100% recommend this product and think more stores should carry this!

Delicious, easy to heat, perfectly portioned for one person. Ideal for taking to work as a lunch.

I love this everyday dal and always keep it in my pantry. Absolutely delicious. A favorite go to quick meal. This was my first time buying from Amazon and unfortunately the product came to me opened inside of the plastic bag, unusable and I couldn’t get a refund. Fantastic product, but I’ll go back to buying through other suppliers.

A friend introduced me to these easy and delicious meals in a bag, and I couldn't be happier. I serve them over brown rice or multi grains, and sometimes add a few slices of air-fried cauliflower to round out it all out.

Love this black lentil soup. Best I have found that is in a pouch, premade. Great for my work lunches. Very tasty.

Flavorful and filling, these dal are great on boiled potatoes and steamed rice. I also enjoy it as a snack with some warm naan or a toasted baguette.

I have to say right off the bat, the flavors of these dals are amazing! The Split Pea, Spinach, Coconut variety, in particular, is by far my favorite Indian from a pouch dish out of all the brands and styles I've tried. It's super rich and complex, seasoned nicely, and very well balanced. After picking a couple of these up from my local store I knew I could mow through a 6-pack pretty easily. *As I edit this review to add photos, I really want to emphasize that this Dal is delicious, and I will DEFINITELY be buying more of it, just from a retailer where I can feel the pouch to assess the viscosity before purchase.*Unfortunately, as others have mentioned here, product consistency is a major issue and is extremely obvious when handling multiple pouches. Just feeling the pouches before I open them, it seems like some are full of thick delicious dal, while others are seemingly almost entirely liquid. There is even about a .5 oz swing in weight between the thick and thin pouches. To make matters worse, my factory sealed "6-pack" contained only 5 pouches!!! I'm sure this company is using a co-packer, and based on my experience and the other reviews here it's definitely time for them to start looking for a replacement.Overall this product is pretty amazing and I will definitely be buying more of it, but I will definitely NOT be buying more of it online. It seems worth even a couple dollars more to be able to feel the pouch in-store to ensure you're getting a good one. It's hard to feel good about this review since I am reviewing both the packaging and the contents... This would be an easy 5-star for the delicious recipe, but the inconsistent packaging is really dragging it down. I really hope this company figures out their packing issues, and when they do, I'm sure they will rule this category!

I've tried most of the Indian food choices on Amazon, and Maya Kaimal is my favorite for taste and the amount of beans or lentils in the pouch. Always thick and tasty.
