I enjoy eating Indian food regularly and I’m lucky enough to have Indian friends who often cook for me. But Basu’s food was something entirely new and different.
One day, Basu gave me some meals to take home and the moment I tasted them, I immediately became awed by their sheer deliciousness. It tasted as though they had been freshly cooked just for me. Even though I knew it had been frozen, I couldn’t believe it.
But I wasn’t the only one convinced of the excellence of Basu’s food. The first time I tried it, a longtime friend of mine was over at my house. I asked her if she’d like to try any, but she immediately declined. However, the moment she smelled it cooking, she asked for a sample. The next thing I knew she was telling me that this was the best meal I’d ever served her. And she is a superb cook herself.
But she wasn’t the only one to go crazy for the food. The moment my two daughters tried Basu’s rice, they flipped. Now I find myself ordering extra orders for them.
I’d gone to Indian restaurants before and had been a big fan of Indian food, but nonetheless Basu’s food was the best I’ve ever eaten. It was the rice that got me. There are cashews in it and all sorts of delicious seasonings and flavors. You never could tell that it had been frozen.
