MTR Ready to Eat Vegetable Pulao – Detailed Review
Price + Packaging
This was packed in a red yellow carton and instructions were printed at the back. It holds two servings (250 grams) and is priced at ₹ 125/- with a shelf life of one year.
Main Ingredients
This is made with water, Basmati rice (25%), carrots (5%), beans (5%), frozen green peas (5%), onion, refined sunflower oil (2.7%) (of which 1.8% is spice seasoned oil, garlic paste, ginger paste, iodised salt, lemon juice, artificial pulao flavoring substance.
It contains no preservatives or added color.
How did we make this?
We emptied the contents in a microwave-safe bowl and let it heat for a little less than two minutes. Once done, it was ready to be reviewed.
Aroma + Appearance
Some rice grains were long, others were broken. The vegetables were not too vibrant, and this had a yellowish brown hue with a gloss, like that of oil. Post-heating, the rice had developed a khila khila, not-sticky appearance.
This meal had an inviting, warming aroma of ginger and garlic.
Taste + Texture
The veggies lacked freshness and did not have a pleasing bite. Tons of room for improvement here. The rice grains had softened well and had a well-cooked bite.
As for flavors, it was pretty good. The seasoning was balanced, it wasn’t too salty or too spicy. Unlike most RTE meals, this did not have any industrial aftertaste. To enhance the freshness, we recommend pairing this with a bowl of curd.
Pros
- Travel, pocket, and beginner-friendly
- Decent flavors
- Good quality ingredients
Cons
- Veggies did not have a fresh bite
