With Steve working random shifts and me working from home, sometimes the only person who gets a proper evening meal is Jack – I don’t tend to make myself tea the same time as Jack unless all three of us are home so we are always looking for handy little snack type meals to fill us up.
We were recently sent the Naanster range to try out. I had seen these in the shops but had never thought to pick them up for some reason. We received two of each flavour: beef madras, balti chicken, chicken tikka and vegetable tikka. Steve tried some, I tried a few and we also roped his Dad into testing some too.
I stuck to the vegetable tikka as I am a bit of a wimp when it comes to curry style dishes. I did have a bite of the balti and chicken tikka when Steve had them but didn’t dare go near the madras – I don’t think my mouth could have taken it!
The Naansters are designed to microwaved in the packaging after the packaging has been pierced. Whilst the products tasted great and exactly like I expected them to, I did find that heating them in the packaging left the naan bread to go a little limp and soggy which wasn’t exactly pleasant – it didn’t take away from the taste experience however.
After taste testing from the whole family, we came to the conclusion that these are a great filler if you fancy a snack between meals or are rushing around on shift work. They taste as expected and are quick and easy to heat up. However, the sogginess of the naan after heating was a little disappointing and something that Naanster could possibly take a look into to see if they can improve.
