Products from companies like Kohinoor and Gits. We find them a quick and easy way to something tasty and my mother usually cooks basmatti rice to go with them - Tilda is maybe the nicest we've had.
A couple of my own favourites are Aloo Saag, Aloo Matar and Palak Paneer. My mother is very fond of Mutter Paneer.
I (who am not Indian, just I find there are some interesting tastes and who's occasional curiosity started from coming home from a football match where we stopped at an Indian restaurant in Sale, near Manchester - first taste of a biryani and of okra when I was about 10) wouldn't know how authentic they are but think they are great for maybe a once a week meal. Just boil in the bag for a few minutes and they are done.
Any one else here use these things?

I am from India! They are pretty close to being authentic.. The only thing is, they add so many different things to keep it good for a long time.. Preservants.. That does spoil the taste a lot.. And my wife never likes them.. I used to eat a lot of them when I was single.. Not anymore.. Home cooked food is a lot different though.. Some of them are really easy to cook.. If you are interested, may be you should start trying to cook some of them at home
