Unfortunately, though, we don't eat it very often. We have a great restaurant close by that delivers to us, but after naan, samosas, a couple of entrees, delivery and tip, we're talking $50 on takeout. It's a $50 very deliciously spent, but $50 nonetheless.
Fortunately, I can get an Indian fix every once in awhile with Whole Foods' frozen Chicken Tikka Masala. I know what you're thinking, frozen Indian. Eww.
Yes, it looks like your typical frozen dinner. Sterile and compartmentalized.
But after you pop it out of the microwave, the final product isn't so shabby. The rice is the big seller: it's not dried out at all. It's actually quite fluffy. The sauce tastes great. The only downside is that the chicken isn't as tender and yummy as it could be, but I can live with the so-so chicken.
For around 5 bucks a pop, these are great when a need a yummy hot dinner and an Indian dinner isn't in the budget. Now all I need is an awesome ready-to-go garlic naan that tastes like the real thing...

Ah, good to know! Indian is one of my comfort foods as well, I'll have to try this :)
We love Trader Joe's garlic naan. Just pop it into the toaster oven and it's ready to go. And we are Indian so it's definitely approved :)
Who's hating on frozen meals? Not me! I feel like I've never gone bad w/frozen meals from TJ's... and I LIVED on Whole Foods frozen food back in my first years post-college. Give me Indian food any way I can get it!
Trader Joe's frozen dinner Chicken Tiki Masala is super good! I think it's only $2.99 :)
