The bad thing about living in a small town -- I can't get these here.  But I can't wait to try them on my next trip to Atlanta.

I will report back with a full review!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
World Cuisine with a Vegetarian Twist
Saffron Road To Unveil Four New All Natural, Halal Certified Vegetarian Items at Whole Foods Market®

Stamford, CT –
December 30, 2011
Saffron Road
, the packaged food brand of American Halal Co., will begin shipping four All Natural, Halal Certified, premium vegetarian entrees and side dishes at Whole Foods Market stores in January. The new items slated for distribution include:
Manchurian Dumplings with Basmati Rice
– An Indo-Chinese masterpiece, this exotic vegetable dumplings dish is made with cabbage, carrots, green beans and onions simmered in a spicy red chili & ginger sauce. Gluten free, vegan, all natural and an authentic recipe.
Thai Basil Chili Tofu with Basmati Rice – Thai basil is no ordinary basil – it has subtle undertones of anise or licorice, and it’s a perfect complement to zest up our protein-rich firm organic tofu. Thai cuisine is based on balance, and each spice works in harmony with this medley of fresh crunchy vegetables to make an extraordinary entrée. Gluten free, authentic recipe, all natural, and vegetarian.

“We have been pleasantly impressed with the number of Halal and natural food consumers who have expressed a very strong affinity for Saffron Road vegan and vegetarianproducts. We are excited to be able to once again rapidly respond to our growing consumer base’s needs, as well as step up the quality of vegetarian ethnic options for this segment of the marketplace,” says Saffron Road’s CEO, Adnan Durrani
