While I already have Indian spices at home and cook my own dishes, these spice packs are so convenient, especially if you quickly marinate the meat and pop it in the fridge overnight so it reduces cook time the day after - great for a busy week night. Not to mention the food is incredibly DELICIOUS! I love the Butter Chicken version - so much tastier than what you typically receive in a regular Indian restaurant. Also, if you're traveling or doing the Airbnb thing, it's so convenient to grab a few packs to make amazing dinners while away from home.
