Market Find

I'm usually suspect of meals in a box, but Baji's Basmati Rice Meals have changed my mind. Baji's (BAH-jees), a brand from Passion Food Inc., offers five mouth-watering dishes from around the world: Indian Lentil Biryani, Thai Lemongrass Basil, Indonesian Nasi Goreng, New Orleans Jambalaya and Spanish Paella. My favorite is the Thai Lemongrass Basil, and each vegetarian meal is made with authentic basmati rice and is wheat- and gluten-free. Fully cooked and ready to eat in just 90 seconds, these meals are conveniently packed in microwaveable pouches so there's no mess. They make a great lunch offering or side dish for grilled fish or meat. Available at Whole Food Markets for $2.99.
