Won’t leave you feeling sheepish.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I previously reviewed the Quicklly Indian Butter Chicken<\/a>, which was much better<\/em> than I expected. That’s pretty much the only<\/em> reason I was willing to spend $18 on this Goanese Lamb Vindaloo curry meal. Sheesh. I am not Daddy Warbucks, ya know.<\/p>\n\n\n

Meat!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anyway. Money well spent. This stuff is delicious. The lamb meat is pretty consistently tender and flavorful. It has the texture of a quality, homemade lamb roast. I got maybe 15-20% disagreeable jiggly-gristly bits. I can live with that. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Meat<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The meat chunks are substantial, but not huge. Like chubby chicken nuggets, maybe. The lamb is marinated in yogurt, sour cream, and spices. Mine was flavorful allll the way through. Yaaas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Po-ta-toes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are tidy cubes of potato. Eerily consistent in size. The potato texture is not bad — they’re neither too soggy nor too firm. Pleasantly salted and flavorful. Pretty good. Which is fortunate, because there are quite a few<\/em> potatoes here.<\/p>\n\n\n

Texture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The curry is thick, and not what I’d call “creamy.” But good. It’s definitely a tart-vinegar presence. A distinct tomato taste. And spicier than I expected. But in a good way. Absolutely not “too spicy.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you like “gravy,” this one doesn’t have much. I ended up mixing the curry into my rice to distribute the flavors better. I did not need any extra salt on mine, which is a miracle. Very well seasoned.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Flavors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Speaking of flavors, I would describe the spices as cumin-forward, with a gingery vibe. Maybe fenugreek. There are some small crunchy seeds in the mix. It doesn’t<\/em> have a strong garlic taste, and the onion flavor is super mellow, despite onions being the first listed ingredient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The label doesn’t reveal the exact spice combination, although it does list green chillies. I like the complexity of the spices here. It tastes multi-dimensional and well-developed.<\/p>\n\n\n

Serving the Lamb Vindaloo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I served mine with freshly chopped green onions. And basmati rice. I actually liked this combination a lot. There’s something about a fresh vegetable garnish that just really brings it all together.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is a quick meal. It’s refrigerated (instead of frozen) and only takes about 5 minutes to heat. Great for busy folks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The label says you get 4 servings per box. There are two sealed plastic trays, with two servings per tray. These aren’t HUGE servings, but they’re adequately filling once the rice is added. I appreciated the 29 grams of protein per serving. Legit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s “Goanese,” Precious?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Goanese<\/a>” is a specific type of southwestern Indian<\/a> cuisine. It often has a distinct vinegar influence, which is palpable with this Quicklly meal. Although many Goan dishes feature fish and coconut milk, this one does not. Goan food is influenced by Portuguese recipes, and often features potatoes, tomatoes, and most importantly, chillies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
