Easy Chicken Tikka Masala With Maya Kaimal Simmer Sauce & Everyday Dal

Disclosure: I received Maya Kaimal Simmer Sauces and Everyday Dal for review purposes but was not compensated for this post. I was not expected nor obligated to feature this on my blog. As usual, all opinions expressed and images are solely mine.

If you've been following my blog, you'll know that my husband and I love Indian food. Actually, 3 out of the 4 of us love Indian food. Yup, even my 2 year old LOVES curries.

He can smell it from afar and he'll beg for it if he sees me eating rice with curry. My 5 year old? Not so much. In fact, he'll lament "What's that SMELL?!" Sometimes, I wonder... 2 kids from the same parents, and yet so different!

Anyways, so when Maya Kaimal Fine Indian Foods sent me a package of their "Simmer Sauces" and their new line of organic, vegan and gluten-free "Everyday Dal" pouches, I knew we were in for a treat.

We already were familiar with Maya Kaimal's brand, having purchased large tubs of her Vindaloo simmer sauce from Costco before. Needless to say, I was very excited to test and taste her new offerings.

Indian flavours are complex and intricate and you have to know how much of each spice to mix in. And of course, every household has their own version.

I enjoy cooking Indian food, such as Aloo Gobi, but sometimes you want to cook something delicious and you're pressed for time, or you haven't gotten all the ingredients.

That's where Maya Kaimal's Simmer Sauces and Everyday Dal pouches comes in handy.

CONVENIENCE WITH ALL-NATURAL INGREDIENTS

Made with all-natural ingredients, each Simmer Sauce is robust in flavour, aromatic, and delicious.

HOW TO PREPARE EASY CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

All you have to do is:

• pick a protein (meat, fish, or tofu) or vegetables
• saute for a few minutes
• open up a jar of the simmer sauce
• dump it in the pot

and 10 minutes later, you've got a gourmet Indian meal.

Add a side of Everyday Dal Black Lentils w/ Tomato & Cumin, serve with some hot rice and soft and fluffy naan, and dinner's ready. Easy, right?

NOURISHING & PROTEIN-PACKED

The best part of the (vegan) Everyday Dal line is that you can have 100% organic, tasty, nourishing, protein-packed meals ready in literally just a few minutes.

I like serving the Everyday Dal with rice for a quick and nutritious lunch. As someone who tries to incorporate more plant-based meals, this is a super tasty, convenient and healthy option.
