Schezwan Poha

I went on a buying binge for long shelf life, easy to make food when lockdown hit. Schezwan: This stuff is not what I expected when I got it. Im use to the tasty bite, instant indian food that all taste pretty much the same (lets be honest). Im not sure where the Schezwan part comes in other than its kinda spicy. Not enough to make your lips warm, but when it hits your stomach, you can feel the little bit of warmth to it. The flavor is pretty amazing for being vegetarian instant food. I cant identify any of the spices, but it all works out. Which makes for a new refreshing flavor that you arent already sick of. Tangy: This is my favorite so far, by far. I honestly was freaked out by the peanuts at first - Im not a fan of cooked peanuts in my food. The taste is so unusual and amazing though, the peanuts really add a nice hint to it and they arent crunchy, just softened up a bit. The addition of the curry leaves is what makes it incredible though.Never had them before trying this despite loving curry in its traditional forms. The leaves dont taste like what I thought they would. They are like a burst of fresh vegetable flavor. They are balanced perfectly though, not too much and not too little. I super recommend this stuff. Its very filling, you dont get hungry an hour or two later, and its very comforting when you want something warm but not soup, and are too lazy to make anything else. Takes like 3 minutes once you add the hot water for it to be ready. I wasnt sure about it when I first tried it - the flavors are so unique, but by the end of the cup, I was at my pc ordering more. Doesnt taste like Chinese, and doesnt taste like Indian from a real restaurant to me (It may taste like Indian and I just havent had the pleasure of trying that region of India yet). The consistancy is like stovetop stuffing if you add to the water line it suggests. I like to add to the "T" in "Water" on the marker for consistency more like cheddar rice or VERY fluffy stuffing once it absorbs the water. - Almost double the water it tells you to use. Adjust accordingly. I hope they add more flavors to the poha line like Tangy and Schezwan. The mix of spices that arent common is a really nice break from every other instant food that is available.

I really like taking these to work for lunch. The cafeteria offers very limited vegetarian options, and these are very convenient and easy to make. I bring them to work for lunch. I only get 30 minutes and I just add hot water. Also, they don't need to be refrigerated. One drawback: the packaging is awkward--a bag inside a cup w/ a paper measuring stick to indicate how much water to add?! ...preference note...I like a little more water than indicated

Once I got my order I was excited to try this but after the first bite I had to spit it out! This has no flavor and is absolutely horrible! I truly regret spending my money on this item

These are awesome for lunch

20% of my order of Kafka Schezwan Poha was missing from the shipping box. I can ask neither for a replacement of the missing item, nor for a partial monetary adjustment. This is very disappointing.

I bought these several times. The portion is decent sized, but it isn't really overly larger or overly small either. Medium sized. I like the taste of it though I might see how it might not be everyone's preference. It's a foreign dish so not everyone is going to like it. I bought it over five times and will continue buying. I like it.

Yes

I wanted to enjoy this, but I couldn't even finish it. My partner powered through, which really hurt her stomach the next day. Didn't enjoy the texture, smell, or taste.
