After cooking – Post cooking the boiled spaghetti with the spice-mix, the spaghetti looked more like Chowmein than a bowl of spaghetti, honestly.
‘Spaghetti’ usually conjures up images of a bowl of pasta with Italian seasonings and herbs. This dish, though, is desi through and through.
Taste and texture – The first thing we wanted to look for was that spinach flavor. There was a very minute earthy, spinach flavor that was pleasant and not overpowering. The spaghetti has cooked nicely and is not mushy or sticking to each other. The texture is very nice and it has a bite like you would expect out of a whole wheat pasta cooked al dente.
There is an ample amount of vegetables in the mix which cook very well and add a lot of color and freshness to the dish. The spice mix is very desi, do not expect Italian flavors. It is spicy, but the heat is not killing the other spices or flavors.
After tasting this product we can put it in that category of meals which are not only healthy and tasty but quick and easy to make as well. The overall aim of this product is to provide a healthy, non-maida option. This will make for an excellent snack or meal when you want something substantial to eat that doesn’t fall in the instant noodle category and yet doesn’t take hours to cook.
