Very delicious! It was spicy and I only used 3 of the chilies. We had to drink milk for this one but very flavorful. The recipe instructions were so easy follow. I had never attempted making Indian food because it seemed so intimidating. I was so excited to say I made homemade Indian food! My 10 year old had 2 helpings!
We enjoyed the Achari chicken and it was our favorite so far! Deeply spicy and tastes as if it used many different spices. My daughter is vegetarian and suggested using potatoes instead of chicken in the future. If you want the sauce a little thicker, take lid off and reduce sauce a little. Highly recommend.
The Mansoor Dal Thadka is a 2:1 package meaning it is perfect to have in your closet for a quick dinner and a great gift to give especially to friends who are trying to do many things in their lives and still eat well. They can enjoy a quick but healthy meal also It is on the more heat end in the spice range but that is what makes it especially enjoyable.
this recipe gives the right amount of chili heat even to tasters who are cautious. I join with others in sharing the benefits of two packets in one pouch. Useful when you have more people to feed or waiting for use for another dinner.
Loved making the pickled onions from this kit. It is easy and my husband is putting the onions on everything.
I fell in love with this dal kit the first time I made it. The seasoning and spice level are just right, and instructions clear and easy. Highly recommend this for a healthy at home meal any night of the week!
Super easy to follow recipe instructions, and incredibly delicious and fragrant chicken. The resulting curry-sauce was flavorful, spicy, and SO GOOD. I am already looking forward to making this again! The only thing is when I simmered the chicken in the sauce for 25-30 minutes with the lid on, the broth was still too watery at the end. I removed the lid and let it simmer for 30 extra minutes.
Angela,

I have been making my own pickled onions for years, so I was curious to see what might be different about these and if I liked this recipe, how I might "reverse engineer" it. These turned out very nice -- more fresh tasting and oniony than my usual very vinegary style. Excellent in salads and sandwiches, and for munching on while I am cooking. Seems a little pricey for what you get, but this would make a wonderful gift with a pretty jar and a small bag of red onions.
Hi Heidi,
Thank you for the wonderful 5-star review! ⭐ Coming from someone with years of pickling experience, this feedback is truly humbling! We're delighted you enjoyed the fresher, onion-forward flavor and that they're working great in your salads and sandwiches. Love your creative gifting idea too - so thoughtful! Check your email for a little something special from us. Happy pickling! ✨
Saw this stall at the Farmers market and decided to give it a try. The recipe did not disappoint! Simple to follow and delicious! Will try more recipes.
I am so glad I found you at SM farmer's market! I am new to cooking Indian food and this recommendation as a tasty but mild vegetarian dish for the whole family was perfect. So easy to make in my Instant Pot. Leftovers were delicious the next day too!
My husband always wanted to try authentic Indian dish and he came across whole spice kitchen stand at San Mateo farmer market . We got this archari chicken package and it is totally unexpectedly good! I I cooked it tonight ! It was so wonderful ! Thank you for such amazing recipe and product .
I've always stir-fried or braised cabbage -- never thought to oven roast it until I tried this recipe starter. So easy and tasty! And so colorful! So happy to have learned a new technique and flavor profile for the humble cabbage.
Love the spice level and ease of this recipe! I also love that there are two separate amounts of spices in the package so I can make this recipe twice.
This recipe was easy and delicious and the spices were so fragrant.. I will definitely be getting this another time and look forward to trying other recipes.
Purchased this product at an event held in San Francisco. I like the fact that there are two sets of spices so you can make the dish twice! Easy instructions to follow and having pre-portioned spices really sped up the cooking. The tips provided with the recipe are helpful too. Definitely worth a try if you enjoy cauliflower!
Instructions were spot on. A beginning cook could pull this off without any trouble. Quality ingredients. This was a great way to discover a dish I hadn't tried before. Great balance of heat/acid/spice. The chiles dont kick you in the face, but create a lingering heat thats really pleasant on q winter night here in Colorado.
Really good! Made enough for dinner today, and lunch tomorrow, and maybe a midnight snack!
Exceeded my expectations. I loved the balance of flavors. So did my husband. :) Mixed it with the cabbage and made that into a meal.
Great side dish, easy way to bake cabbage, colorful, mildly spicy, curry flavored, and gut healthy!
These starter kits are super easy to use and as a young professional, I know I’m treating my body right while also being busy! I made the Dal and Cabbage dishes - both took about 25-30 minutes total. The instructions were easy to follow and the shopping for any extra ingredients only took a few minutes. I loved how simple everything was to make but also how delicious the final meal was! I also love bringing my leftovers to work!
The red lentils are my new go to comfort food! So yummy and the best thing to eat if you’re feeling under the weather.
I love making this dal after a long day at work. I know I’m taking care of myself but also don’t have to spend much time cooking! The spices really make the dish and I can’t wait to order more!!
