Tasty Bite Punjab Eggplant
By: | Sep 7, 2009
Tasty Bite describes this as "braised eggplant cooked in a distinctively flavored sauce." That "distinctly flavored sauce" is some kind of hot pepper, because this dish was spicayyy hottt! I had to get that out of the way first, because, this was so unexpected from the description on the box. It reminded me of the first time I had Healthy Choice Sweet Asian Pot Stickers - which was also unexpectedly spicy.
And like the Healthy Choice Sweet Asian Pot Stickers, despite the spicyness, I enjoyed the Tasty Bite Punjab Eggplant - and I'm not a huge lover of spicy foods. I think though, that without the heat form this dish, there would have been no other flavor and the mushy texture would have been a turn-off for me.
This was reviewed over at HeatEatReview and there were a mixed bag of comments - some liked it, some didn't including the reviewer. I can relate to both - at first I didn't like it, but I kept eating, and then it grew on me. I had it with a small serving with Tasty Bite Tandoor Pilaf and actually went back for more.
Each package of Tasty Bite Punjab Eggplant contains 2 servings, each of which provides 140 calories, 9 grams of total fat (14% of the daily value), only 1 gram of which is saturated (5% of the DV), 21% of the DV for sodium (510 mg), 4 grams of protein and 13 grams of carbohydrates which includes 2 grams of fiber and 4 grams of sugars.
I forgot to mention that there was a layer of oil, which was rather unsightly to me. A box of 12 costs $30.82 on Amazon.com

I can do spicy, but if I see a layer of oil, I would be turned off too.
