| Are there any Indian foods at costco that are authentic that you would recommend? Thanks! |
|
No. (I’m Indian).
Sukhi’s Kitchen if you are desperate. |
| Trader Joes is where its at. |
|
There’s rice, dahl, and ghee available depending on the location.

There is a good cooked Madras lentils in pouches, don't remember the name but I have used it in the past. It is just not cost effective for a family..
I am not a big fan of their premade rotis but it will do in a pinch. I buy their paneer cheese, Noga Dahi is pretty good. I use this dahi if I do not set my own. There are samosas and stuff in frozen section too. I found most of entrees not what we are used to eating but others obviously like it. |
| Yes, there is also rice, atta, ghee, daal and some spices. |

Trader Joe's Indian meals are great (my husband is Indian and says no other store has decent frozen Indian food other than Trader Joe's)
|
| Trader Joe’s is good. The Indian stores have excellent frozen food and a much bigger variety. |
Definitely not authentic but kids seem to really like Sukhis, I think because so many of the dishes are very sweet. I kind of like it, too, but "dilute" it with other foods so it's not so sweet. Like add extra spinach/kale to the veg dishes or plain garbanzo beans added to bean or meat dishes. It's more expensive and not anywhere near as good as what I can fix myself from scratch, but still faster and cheaper than take-out. |
| My half Indian kids hated Sukhi’s but love Trader Joe’s Indian meals. |
| They have these amazing kulfi popsicles that are maybe not strictly Indian but Indian-like. My Indian friend introduced me to them The chai flavor is phenomenal. |
| Naan at Costco is authentic and a lot more cost-effective than your local grocery. The Basmati rice is authentic. The Paneer is the real thing. All the above being the pre-cooked stuff. Sukhi’s stuff is good enough but you can do better by following YouTube recipes and whipping up some good stuff (you need the spices) |

Trader Joe's Indian is horrible. Agree with Sukhi's if you must.

| Try Bombay delhi simmer sauces. Very mild. You have to add yogurt or coconut milk or water since it’s concentrated. Then add protein of your choice and/or veg. |
Sukhi’s is mediocre at best. We joke that it should be called Dukhi’s. Stick to Trader Joe’s. -Indian |
