Place on a baking sheet and bake on middle rack for 20 minutes. Carefully remove foil and stir stew (leave the rice, beans, and plantains undisturbed). Return sheet to oven and bake, uncovered, until meal reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees, 20 minutes more. Let stand for 2 minutes and stir. Divide rice, beans, and plantains between plates and serve beef alongside.
FOR THE MICROWAVE
Remove outer packaging and pierce plastic film a few times with a fork. Place tray* on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 4 minutes. Carefully remove plastic film and stir stew (leave the rice, beans, and plantains undisturbed). Microwave until meal reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees, 4 minutes more. Let stand for 2 minutes. Divide rice, beans, and plantains between plates and serve beef alongside.
*You read that right: All trays and film are oven-safe and microwave-safe!

Reviews from our home cooks
Very pleasantly surprised -- the flavor was great, and for a ready to heat meal, it had very generous servings. Would order this again!
Tender chicken and the rice with cashews and golden raisins was a very delicate dish. The sauce could have had a bit more "kick". So easy to heat up and serve on a busy night!
Easy to heat and so tasty to eat. I prepared in the oven and this was so filling. I was concerned it wasn't enough for two servings but we each had more than enough
This was very easy to make and the sauce on the chicken was SO good. The chicken is tender and the sauce hits the spot for an Indian cuisine craving.
I've tried 3 other meal kits and I always sample the ready-to-eat Indian food. This was the first time I didn't throw it out! It was SO GOOD! Tasted quite a bit like real indian delivery!!!! I was very excited, and the portions were huge so there was plenty left for lunch!
Delicious as-is, needed no tweaks. I opted to microwave it rather than cook it in the oven (summer in the South is too hot to turn the oven on). I would only say it needs more chicken. Plenty of rice and sauce!
Wow! Absolutely zero effort, max flavor! Unlike other pre packaged store Indian food, the sauce, rice, and chicken are separate. This really keeps the textures defined. Bonus points for the raisins and nuts in the rice! My only criticism is that it is a touch sweet. Still a good treat every once in a while!
Tasted much better than it looked. My husband loved the chicken and sauce but not so much the rice. I loved the rice too so am giving this a 4 star rating. A nice surprise for a ready made meal!!
Loved getting this as an add on, but I had it as one serving. There was a lot of rice, but not enough chicken for two servings. Easy 4 minutes in the microwave and very tasty flavors. I didn't love the cashews and grapes/raisins in the rice, but that's just preference.
Fast and good quantity. The taste however was slightly lacking. The garam masala could added more for further taste.
