Tandoor Chef {Review and Giveaway}

Once upon a time, I saw a bright orange box in the freezer section of my grocery store and I stopped to look.

Hmmmm…Tandoor Chef Indian food. This is intriguing, I thought. So, I bought one.

And it changed my life.

I kid you not. I am addicted. I literally have 12 more meals outside in my freezer right now. (That doesn’t count the 20+ already consumed this summer.)

Here is my addiction: Channa Masala, which is chickpeas sauteed with onions, tomatoes, peppers and exotic spices. It is so darn good!

Love, love, love, layered with more love.

That was all my store carried at the time, so I kept buying every one they put in the freezer. I was afraid I would run out.

Just last week they added some new varieties, and I bought this Garlic Naan bread: authentic Indian bread with fresh garlic slices and coriander, hand-stretched and baked in a traditional Tandoor oven.

It was fantastic. I only got one of the three pieces, but I would have eaten all of them if I didn’t have to share. Phenomenal!

This was how I prepared it last time. I served the Channa Masala over couscous and enjoyed it with that piece of Naan. I’d eat this every day if I could.

Tandoor Chef has a large variety of entrees and sides to choose from, rich in culture and flavor, thus allowing you to have an authentic Indian meal experience at home.

I really can’t say enough about how great it is. I will admit it’s a bit on the pricey side, but I always buy it anyhow because I love it so much!
