Matar Paneer, 12 cans of 15 oz each, All Natural, Product of USA, Gluten Free, Vegetarian, BPA Free, Halal

I love Indian food and try to make a point to check out an Indian restaurant on any trip I make and have sampled all of the Indian restaurants in my city. If I could, I’d eat Indian food almost every day, but really good Indian food can be a bit pricey, so I’ve also been eating various brands of canned and bagged (like MRE style) types of Indian dishes since college (so almost 20 years). This is by far one of the best in terms of taste and quality. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still like the Taco Bell of Indian food, but if you’ve got a craving for those delicious unique spices and curries, but are on a budget, this is definitely a decent option. I prefer to pour mine over basmati rice, but I’m sure it would be good with most varieties of naan as well. The case I ordered doesn’t expire for like 3 years. lol! So it’s a good item to stock up on. Grab a case of this and a 20lb bag of rice and you’ve got at least 24 meals that will stay good until the apocalypse. I can’t recall whether I’ve ever gotten this brand over the years before, but I can tell you I am now looking at the other canned styles they offer as I enjoyed this one so much, I figure it’s worth trying some of the other styles they have to offer. I will definitely order another case of this particular dish once I run out of this order. If you’re not sure, just go ahead and put it in your cart and do it, as long as you have the proper expectations, you won’t be disappointed! Enjoy!

Yes, it is canned. But honestly, my go to. Pop it on rice, good to go. I do cumin rice in instant pot. Even better. Or try Naan. The Matar Paneer has some mild to medium heat to it, rice will balance that out. Good flavor profile. You can always tinker with it, but then you might as well cook from scratch. Unless you go to a high quality Indian restaurant or mom and pop operation, same as on the buffet on many regular. As I do not have easy access to either, and do not always feel like cooking, this is a great quick fix for squeaky paneer and peas and curry . Good ingredients, too. Usually good expiration date, yet when I forgot I still had some cans in the back of my pantry and ate them way past exp date while cans showed no signs of bloating or denting (do at your own risk, lol). Good stuff, try it, my fav product from Jyoti.

I could eat Jyoti Matar Paneer every day; incredibly tasty. The spicing seems perfect not hot and adds to the enjoyment of this food.

Two cans horribly dented. I’m not sure if they should be eaten. I haven’t eaten any cans because that threw me off. However, this product has always been delicious.

5 stars. This has been a great item; I've been buying this for years. It seems a bit spicier than in years past, or that could be my imagination. Anyway, you can calibrate the spice level if you add in your own sour cream or Greek yogurt or even cottage cheese.

I previously wrote a five-star review for this product because we really like it. We like it so much we order a case each month. We've done this for the last year. BUT, we are sooooo tired of getting a case where the majority of the cans are dented. In the last shipment, every single can was dented in some manner. It was not Amazon's fault because it was packed properly, so I can only assume that the vendor sends dented cans for those who order cases. So, this is how they treat their repeat customers?

Tasty but spicier than expected. The spice of the sauce overwhelmed the paneer and peas, but with addition of yogurt & plenty of naan it was ok. I probably won't but this brand again except for products labelled as "mild" - which I expect will still be very spicy for me. Cans were in excellent condition, no dents.

Today was my first day trying out these. I have already finished eating 3 cans of this Matar Paneer. So frickin tasty the were! I ate two cans warmed with rice and 1 just by itself. The taste comes from the spices and sour cream combination. Be warned that there is a lot of soy bean oil used to keep this from going bad. 1 can amounts to 560 calories of which 400 is from fats. I think a moderate quick meal can be eaten with half a can of this and some rice that will keep you filled for at least 3-4 hours. I found that there are only about 8-10 cubes of paneer in this thing, about as much as shown in the picture. That was kind of a let down as i like paneer. But the rest of the stuff with pleasant gravy were good enough eaten with rice. A must buy at $2.6 per delicious and fulfilling Indian meal. i find the salt not a problem as i work out daily and sweat away lot of salt anyway.
