Cooking Sauce or Flavor Enhancer 2010

sofi Gold Winner 2010
Outstanding Cooking Sauce or Flavor Enhancer

Maya Kaimal Fine Indian Foods, founded in 2003, captures the tastes of fresh, home-style Indian cooking with all-natural refrigerated sauces that range from classic Korma and Tamarind Curry to Tikka Masala and Vindaloo. The South Indian family recipes are creations and collections of Maya Kaimal, a photo editor turned home cook turned award-winning cookbook author.

Tikka Masala, the familiar North Indian curry that is a blend of tomato, yogurt and warming garam masala spices like cinnamon, cumin and clove, has a gingery flavor profile that is accessible and recognizable to many Americans.

“Most Americans know this flavor through dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala that they order in restaurants,” she says. According to Kaimal, the shelf-stable Tikka Masala, which is gluten-free, vegetarian and preservative-free, has a layering of flavors that work in harmony around the product’s natural acidic nature. —Nicole Denis
