Tandoor Chef's Masala Dosa frozen entree

The product:  I grabbed Tandoor Chef's Masala Dosa on a quick trip to Whole Foods.  I love Indian food with its many vegetarian options.  There were four individually wrapped masala dosa in the box with two packs of chutney that required 10 to 15 seconds in the microwave.  The product is not microwave friendly and the preferred method of cooking is a griddle.  I do not have a griddle so I went with option #2 my oven.  The product took an extra 4 minutes in the oven.  It cooked up crispy on the outside and was easy to plate.
 
The taste test: The outer shell was airy and crisp.  The potato, rice and onion filling was hearty, rich and nicely spiced.   The chutney mix of coconut and spices and complimented the masala dosa.

The verdict:  I enjoyed Tandoor Chef's Masala Dosa.  Unfortunately, due to the griddle and/or oven cooking methods this is not something I could take for lunch at the office.

Indian food: My favorite!

My absolute favorite food is Indian food and my favorite dish is Dal Makhani.  Although, Dal Makhani may seem simple, the layers of flavor are delightful.  Dal Makhani is from Punjab in India and consist of black lentils, red kidney beans, cream and/or butter and various spices.  Makhani means "buttery" and the Dal is cooked for hours to give it a buttery and creamy texture.  I enjoy my Dal with basmati rice and naan.

Indian food offers many flavorful and filling vegetarian dishes.  I am confident that when I go to an Indian restaurant, I will have vegetarian options and my non-vegetarian friends will have many options as well.

If you are passing through Fort Lauderdale, Florida and looking for some delicious Indian cuisine, stop by the Bombay Cafe for the lunch buffet or dinner.
