Seeds of Change Indian Simmer Sauces

Have I mentioned I love Indian food? The flavors are intoxicating. And, although my husband and I love making Indian flavored dishes from scratch, there's nothing wrong with taking a shortcut now and then :)

So, you can imagine my surprise when I came across Seeds of Change Indian Simmer Sauces at the grocery store recently. As excited as I was, I was a little wary. I mean, jarred Indian sauce?

Well, I was pleasantly surprised! I mean nothing beats homemade, but these sauces were really great, especially for a quick and easy dinner. For my first time out, I went super simple-just shrimp with the Madras sauce. And it couldn't have been easier. I just sauteed the shrimp until they were almost done, added the sauce, covered, and simmered on low for 10 minutes. Pour over rice (I used brown rice, but basmati would be outstanding!) and enjoy!

Since finding them, I have all 4 sauces: Jalfrezi, Korma, Tikka Masala, and Madras. And, while I really liked them all, I thought the Tikka Masala was the closest to what we have made at home. I have also added vegetables to the mix. Just saute them with the protein of your choice (or just use veggies) and simmer as directed.

So, if you love Indian food but either haven't tried to make it at home or are looking for a quick and flavorful meal, give these sauces a try!
