The new plastic pouches are as good as the foil ones. I boiled one, Kashmir Spinach, in the jetboil for a few minutes without needing to hold it off the sides or bottom of the billy and the plastic wasn't effected by the heat and it still tasted great. That's a relief, less fiddling around at the end of the day with the good old boil-in-a-bag.
When I cook them I usually put on the rice and throw in a handful of Strive's dehy vegies first then when that is almost ready I place the pouch on top. After a few minutes I take out the pouch, drain the rice and veg then pour the pouch on the rice, inside the pot, less washing. It is a huge meal and often I leave some for breakfast or a snack the next day.
I haven't tried all the Asian ones yet but if they're anything like the Indian ones then they should be good.
