Paro Reviews

Best of Thingtesting4.3

Paro draws strong reviews for delivering easy, aromatic South Asian comfort foods—many find the Masoor Daal, Kitchari, and especially the Tarka oil genuinely delicious and convenient, so yes, the brand works. However, critiques surface around blandness without added salt or Tarka, small portions that feed two at most, 30-minute cook times, and occasional watery or mushy texture unless adjusted.

    Please please please bring back the Masoor Daal. We ate it all the time and miss it so much!

    This was easy to make. I felt the product could have had a lot more seasoning added which would make me more likely to purchase it in the future. It is great for a quick and easy meal but was not flavorful enough on its own.

    Ordered the Kichari Paro product from Thingdrop and was super excited to receive and cook. It came quickly in the mail with adorable packaging that even included free seeds as that's part of their charm, storytelling, and culture sharing. This particular flavor was a tad bitter, but it was tasty and I would purchase and pair it with meals again. The portion was also fairly large and lasted for about 4-5 meal side dishes. Great all around product!

    I tried the Kitchari and found it super easy to make. However I found it a bit flavorless and ended up frying up garlic chip, adding a chili crisp and chives to add complexity. I’d try their other products however since it really was easy to use
