4.0 out of 5 stars very good, if you know how to mix it, July 1, 2009

This review is from: Kitchens Of India Puddings, Pumpkin And Milk, 8.8-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

I read all the reviews and decided I did not want to eat all the calories and fat in one setting (seriously, each package is so small i think I can finish it in 4 or 5 bites). So I looked around the house for something I can mix this with, and then it hit me, oatmeal. I had some McCann's steel cut oatmeal. I mixed 1 and half cup of dry oatmeal, cooked it first for around half an hour. When it's ready, I threw in the pudding. The result was FANTASTIC, it was not overly sweet and had plenty of flavor, not to mention, the pudding just got 10 times healthier because the oatmeal is high fiber and low calories. Perfect for breakfast.

In addition to oatmeal, I can think of several other things that you might consider mixing this pudding with. Cake mix (then bake the cake, of course), rice congee (add a variety of beans for even more flavor), and pumpkin pie. Just be creative and dont eat this by itself, the flavor would so sweet and rich that it would make you sick. For your reference, each package contains 2 servings, each serving has 51% of your daily fat intake (based on 2000 calorie diet), and 51 grams of sugar (20% of your carb intake), and 570 calories.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too sweet, gritty, April 29, 2008

This is definitely an indulgence item. I don't mind the calories (over 500 a serving) if the product is good, but I find this product way too sweet for my taste. I was overwhelmed by the sweetness and could not really get much of the pumpkin flavor or any flavor other than sweet. There was a grittiness to the texture that I did not enjoy. It is probably the sugar granules, but it would not dissolve or go away even when the product was heated. It felt like I was biting on sand pieces. When heated (particularly in the microwave), the oil will separate from the solid parts so you have to spend a couple of minutes mixing it back in, or you can try to pour it off and save on the calories a bit.

There is so much sugar in this that I can't stand to eat it. It's a shame, because the flavor of the pumpkin is extraordinarily good. Why ruin it with so much sugar? If they ever change the recipe and cut the sugar way down, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
