I’m surprised more people don’t talk about The Cumin Club, which creates 5-minute Indian meal kits developed by chefs in India.
Co-founded by Ragoth Bala and Harish Visweswaran, who immigrated to the US from India, The Cumin Club offers over 30 vegetarian and vegan meals approved by a panel of taste testers. Freeze-dried into pouches, the lentils, rice, curries, simmer sauces and desserts contain no preservatives, GMOs, excess sodium or seed oils.
As one of CNET’s meal kit testers and a vegetarian of 21 years who often cooks and eats vegan meals, I was curious how The Cumin Club’s freeze-dried dishes would compare to the fresh and frozen meal delivery services I’ve tested over the past few years.
