Box of Maya Kaimal Lamb Vindaloo

Plate of Maya Kaimal Lamb Vindaloo with rice

We bought some of Maya Kaimal's Lamb Vindaloo from Costco since we enjoyed the coconut chicken curry Costco had last year. The lamb vindaloo was very easy to prepare following the microwave instructions. We ate it with a side of rice.

The lamb vindaloo had sort of a slightly spicy and savory coconut curry taste with a little bit of tanginess. The label on the box showed the spiciness-level being at medium, which seemed about right. You could definitely taste the spice, but it wasn't super spicy. The sauce wasn't watery or too thick. The lamb was pretty good and went well with the sauce. Some pieces were a little dry, but they weren't overly dry or anything. The lamb vindaloo also had potatoes, which were a little on the crunchy / al dente side. The potatoes cubes were pretty small (each was about the size of a pea). I would have preferred bigger potato chunks, like the ones pictured on the box, but they still went well with the lamb.

Overall, it was very tasty and made for a good meal for me and my boyfriend. We also had leftovers the following day, and it tasted even better than the day before.

Update (Nov. 2016): We bought some of this lamb vindaloo again, and this time it had larger potato chunks! Unfortunately, it also had more "fatty" lamb pieces, so it wasn't really a good trade-off. However, the taste was still good. :)

Box of Fry's / Kroger Thai Coconut Curry Chicken
Sealed package of Thai Coconut Curry Chicken
Fry's / Kroger Thai Coconut Curry Chicken

Similar to Kroger's Korean kalbi beef, Kroger's Thai coconut curry chicken came in a sealed bag with easy microwave instructions.

The chicken was like grilled chicken thigh meat, and it had a little bit of gristle. The curry was a thick sauce, and it tasted like a very sweet coconut curry. While I would have preferred the curry to be less sweet, I was happy that the sweetness didn't totally overwhelm the entire taste, so I was still able to enjoy the coconut curry taste with the chicken.

Trader Joe's Panang Curry Sticks

I had some Panang Curry Sticks from Trader Joe's. The box states they are filled with shrimp, fish, and vegetables in a spicy Thai curry sauce.

I cooked them in the toaster oven, and they came out nice and crunchy. They tasted like sweet (but not too sweet), crunchy shrimp spring rolls. They were a little oily, and they maybe had too many sesame seeds for my liking, but they were very tasty.

Update (2013): Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find these any more. It looks like Trader Joe's may have discontinued them. :(
