Sometimes, I'm Not in the Mood to Cook

As much as I enjoy cooking at home, sometimes I feel tired or am not in the mood. In these situations, however, I'm not willing to skip dinner at home with my family just because I'm feeling lazy. So what do I do?

Saffron Road to the Rescue

I'm picky when it comes to frozen meals. First and foremost, they have to be healthy. For example, I look for foods that are certified organic, non-GMO, and have no artificial ingredients or antibiotics. Of course, there are many different options available in the frozen food aisle, but for the past two years I have been purchasing the Saffron Road brand.

Many Saffron Road meals are inspired by Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. My favorites are Madras Curry, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala, Coconut Chicken Curry, and Vegetable Pad Thai.

This brand offers vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, as well. In addition, they make healthy snacks such as crunchy chickpeas, baked lentil chips, and lentil crackers that are covered with different types of spices.

The Perfect Choice for My Family

If you are picky (like me), consider Saffron Road. The food is healthy, and it tastes delicious. They offer a variety of meals that promote world cuisine, ethnic diversity, and cultural harmony. I was born and raised in a traditional Malay family, and food has become part of our culture. For this reason, I only choose the best and healthiest food for my family. By the way, I like serving these frozen meals with naan bread.

Top 5 Saffron Road Meals

1. Chicken Biryani

Chicken biryani is one of my all-time favorites. The rice is cooked with exactly the right amount of spices.

2. Chicken Tikka Masala

This is my husband's favorite. He loves the creamy sauce. Sometimes, he brings this to work for lunch!

3. Vegetable Biryani

The vegetable biryani has perfectly cooked rice with just the right amount of vegetables.

4. Ramen Bowl

The ramen bowl is perfect for a lazy day, especially during the cold weather.

5. Madras Curry

Madras curry is my family's favorite. The curry sauce with tender chicken meatballs is delicious, and the spices are so aromatic when I take this out of the microwave.

Aanvi, Saffron Road has a lot of frozen food menu. It also provides recipes that you can cook your own and healthy snacks! You should try :) By the way, I've seen Amy's at the frozen food aisle. Maybe I'll try next time. Thanks for your comment.

These are good options Liza. I haven't tried this particular brand but I have Amy's frozen Indian foods every once in a while. Some are gluten free.

Hi Rachel, I'm sorry to hear that. I believe there are a lot of healthy frozen food brands in the store. But, Saffron has been one of my favorites for the past two years. I wish they were there. Thanks for your sharing your thought, have a great day!

Hi Liza, Thanks for the tip on frozen foods. I never saw that brand in my neck of the woods. But looking for the other things will be a great help.

Blessings to you.
