Mini Samosas<\/a> was no exception.\u00a0 The tiny samosas came pre-cooked, so all I had to do was heat them up.\u00a0 They were very good and not too spicy.\u00a0 We often get fresh samosas from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/2008\/07\/santos-spice-products\/\">one of our local Indian food stores<\/a>, so I don&#8217;t say this lightly.<\/p>\n<p>The main meal was simple to put together.\u00a0 The rice came pre-cooked, and all I had to do was heat it in the microwave.\u00a0 Gobble sends a very tasty precooked rice, which tastes even better than the one I make.\u00a0 The meat was quickly sauteed on a pan, to which I added the curry powder, the pre-roasted carrots and peas, a pre-mixed garlic\/ginger\/scallion confit and chicken broth.<\/p>\n<p>The results were great!\u00a0 It was a very tasty meal and both my husband and I enjoyed it.\u00a0 At $21, it was equivalent in price to the cost, before tax and tip, of take out &#8211; though, of course, we didn&#8217;t get leftovers as we do when we order out.\u00a0 Alas, the whole meal was ready much quicker than it would take to get a restaurant meal delivered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rating: 8\/10 With the rush of the holidays, I&#8217;m running very behind on my meal kit reviews &#8211;
