from 14 reviewsI have been making my own pickled onions for years, so I was curious to see what might be different about these and if I liked this recipe, how I might "reverse engineer" it. These turned out very nice -- more fresh tasting and oniony than my usual very vinegary style. Excellent in salads and sandwiches, and for munching on while I am cooking. Seems a little pricey for what you get, but this would make a wonderful gift with a pretty jar and a small bag of red onions.

Saw this stall at the Farmers market and decided to give it a try. The recipe did not disappoint! Simple to follow and delicious! Will try more recipes.

I am so glad I found you at SM farmer's market! I am new to cooking Indian food and this recommendation as a tasty but mild vegetarian dish for the whole family was perfect. So easy to make in my Instant Pot. Leftovers were delicious the next day too!

My husband always wanted to try authentic Indian dish and he came across whole spice kitchen stand at San Mateo farmer market . We got this archari chicken package and it is totally unexpectedly good! I I cooked it tonight ! It was so wonderful ! Thank you for such amazing recipe and product .

I've always stir-fried or braised cabbage -- never thought to oven roast it until I tried this recipe starter. So easy and tasty! And so colorful! So happy to have learned a new technique and flavor profile for the humble cabbage.

Love the spice level and ease of this recipe! I also love that there are two separate amounts of spices in the package so I can make this recipe twice.

This recipe was easy and delicious and the spices were so fragrant.. I will definitely be getting this another time and look forward to trying other recipes.

Purchased this product at an event held in San Francisco. I like the fact that there are two sets of spices so you can make the dish twice! Easy instructions to follow and having pre-portioned spices really sped up the cooking. The tips provided with the recipe are helpful too. Definitely worth a try if you enjoy cauliflower!

Instructions were spot on. A beginning cook could pull this off without any trouble. Quality ingredients. This was a great way to discover a dish I hadn't tried before. Great balance of heat/acid/spice. The chiles dont kick you in the face, but create a lingering heat thats really pleasant on q winter night here in Colorado.
Really good! Made enough for dinner today, and lunch tomorrow, and maybe a midnight snack!

Exceeded my expectations. I loved the balance of flavors. So did my husband. :) Mixed it with the cabbage and made that into a meal.

Great side dish, easy way to bake cabbage, colorful, mildly spicy, curry flavored, and gut healthy!

These starter kits are super easy to use and as a young professional, I know I’m treating my body right while also being busy! I made the Dal and Cabbage dishes - both took about 25-30 minutes total. The instructions were easy to follow and the shopping for any extra ingredients only took a few minutes. I loved how simple everything was to make but also how delicious the final meal was! I also love bringing my leftovers to work!

The red lentils are my new go to comfort food! So yummy and the best thing to eat if you’re feeling under the weather.

I love making this dish after a long day at work. I know I’m taking care of myself but also don’t have to spend much time cooking! The spices really make the dish and I can’t wait to order more!!
