Paro

Tried Paro as a part of the thingdrop program. Liked the design and feel of the packaging. As someone who doesn't cook a ton, is unfamiliar with spices, and doesn't have lentils at home, this kit seemed ideal for me. Upon *actually* cooking one box (the kitchari), I found that it required a bit more work and effort than I anticipated. When reading the instructions, it seemed like cooking just the contents of the box would be fine as a meal. However, I felt like the box, on its own, wasn't enough as a meal, and it required the addition of vegetables and extra salt too. Would note that I forgot to add the tarka oil, so maybe that would've made the difference. I wonder if it'd be possible to add freeze-dried vegetables (and a bit more salt) so that each box contains everything needed. Overall, I thought it was fine, but I'm not sure if I'd get it again.
