Indian Buffet

So if your house is anything like ours, at least once a month we are dying for a visit to our local Indian Buffet. But, if your house is like ours a) the urge hits when your child has settled down for an extended nap session or is unbearably fussy with teethiness and/or b) you don't want to scrap together the $20 for a meal. Well...what if I told you good Indian could be yours for $2.88/person + tax. That's how much Amy's Indian frozen entrees cost at WalMart. Our favorite is the Mattar Paneer (curried peas & cheese with rice and chana masala). Although like many frozen meals, it's a tad watery when it's removed from the microwave, it honestly is very good. Sure, it's only one serving, but it makes for some great cost and time savings. (According to their website, they also offer a low-sodium version, but I've never seen it at local stores - and what's a good Indian meal without the urge to drink a gallon of water afterward, anyway?)
