LYO says:
If you’re into Indian cuisine, this dish needs no introduction and there's no denying that chana masala deserves all its popularity.
Chana masala may have originated in the northern part of the country, but now it is one of the most popular Indian dishes, not only in South Asia, but worldwide. The combination of veggies and warming spices is both flavorful and easy to prepare. However, some of the recipes may turn out to be quite time-consuming. We have created our BISTRO Menu to ensure that you can enjoy your portion of this Indian comfort food in no time at all.
Packed with protein-rich chickpeas, aromatic pumpkin and tomatoes, cooked in a creamy, spicy coconut sauce, and served with white rice, LYO Chana Masala is a perfect meal to start, fuel and end your day with.

Our Verdict
LYO have tried to take a different route with their meals focussing on natural, fresh ingredients and no preservatives or artificial additives. They proudly cultivate some of the fruits and herbs on their own fields. Other fruits and herbs as well as vegetables come from farmers known to them personally. All ingredients are carefully verified to ensure that their products meet the highest quality standards.
The majority of the meals use interesting combinations of natural ingredients with chunky vegetables, authentic flavours and more of a home cooked approach. We’ve been lucky enough to test a variety of them and have always been impressed with the end results. Generally, we appreciated the good combinations of flavour, texture and portion size.
The fill line for adding water to the packs is novel with a blue area from the bottom showing how much water is required. It is quite a subtle design feature that can be easy to miss and some form of internal indicator would be best but it still works.
