Flavor didn't make it entirely inedible, but the smell sure did.
This is among a bunch of other products I ordered based on a high number of positive reviews alone, and this is the first one that I regret.
I can't imagine I received a bad batch, and I don't consider myself a picky eater, because I'm perfectly content to stick a slice of cheese and some catsup between two slices of bread and nuke it for a quick meal, something my friends tell me is absolutely disgusting.
Likewise, it's not a dislike of Indian food, I happily eat offerings at a local Indian restaurant, including curried spinach, and I was excited to try this out after having tried Gits Tikka Masala, Medium, 10.5-Ounce Packages (Pack of 10).
Gits must have spoiled me, because this did not hold a candle to that expertly prepared dish. The color and texture looks like sludge, and the pieces of paneer are tiny and sparse. I tasted a little, shrugged my shoulders and put it in the microwave. Upon pulling it out, I did not get the heady aroma of curry I was expecting, but instead something that smelled more like my fish tank when it's in need of cleaning. Likewise the flavor wasn't any better warm than it had been cold.
I tried to eat a little with rice, and ended up having to toss the rice too, because I couldn't stand the smell long enough to eat any more. I don't know what I'm going to do with the rest of it, since I wouldn't dare foist this on a shelter. They may be homeless and hungry, but they deserve better than this.

Declicious!
I normally hate spinach, but I love this stuff. Like an Indian version of creamed spinach, with much more flavor.
Beware, this stuff is mildly spicy.

Too Salty
The sodium amount is 693 mg per serving with 2 servings per box. It tastes too salty also. Adding things like unsalted rice & beans helps. I do like the intensity of the other spices and the ease of use and storage.
