Trader Joe says: This Indian entree was created centuries ago. Fresh green peas and beans, diced carrots and cashews are cooked in a delicate combination of spices witih lightly sauteed cubes of creamed cottage cheese for an aromatic and flavorful sauce. Serve with fluffy rice, hot Indian bread, pita or tortillas. You can also use as a burrito filling.

Amy says: I could do this review in 3 words: “explosion of flavor”. That is what this dynamic duo was for me. On their own the jaipur vegetables or the garlic naan would pack a satisfying punch, but when you combine their forces…look out! The jaipur vegetables comes with a melee of vegetables, including peas and some other veggies which I couldn’t distinguish/remember. It also contains oodles of exotic spices, cashews and paneer, mmmmm, paneer.

The garlic naan is excellent, even if I did burn it. It was a little crunchy (again, because I burned it), but it tasted right nice. Studded with big chunks of garlic and some other seasoning (maybe parsley) sprinkled along the top. The garlic taste is strong, but not overpowering, just yummy.

One bag of TJ’s naan comes with four whole naan so you are paying basically 60 cents per naan, not a bad deal at all. The jaipur vegetables lasted for two meals also. So you are getting a meal for about $2 with this tasty combination. You can’t beat that with a bat.

oh, how right you were. the jaipur veggies are delish. TJ’s might not be making the naan anymore, which was sad, so I bought some at the regular grocery store and it was $4 for a box of three. I got ripped off, but it was still a really tasty meal. Thanks for recommending this, Amy.

Hey Smash,
I went to a Trader Joe’s in Fairfax, VA on Tuesday and they had garlic naan and plain naan. They could be out in your region.
