These are all-natural, authentic Indian curry sauces made with only the best ingredients, created for the American kitchen. All you need to do is heat the sauce in a pan with meat or your favorite ingredient, simmer and serve.
Tikka Masala is a classic creamy tomato-based curry, mildly spiced with cinnamon, cardamom and clove. A traditional favorite simmered with chicken and served with rice. Also works well with fish, shrimp or vegetables, or blended with yogurt for a cool dip or spread. (Serves four)

These exotic flavors make a delicious curry with seafood or vegetables, or a tasty marinade for grilled foods. (Serves four)

Vindaloo: This famously hot and sour curry is made with black pepper and coriander from Indias spice coast, tempered by tangy tamarind and coconut milk. Always a perfect sauce for beef, pork or lamb, Vindaloo is also great for spicing up tofu and vegetables or burgers and wraps. (Serves four)

What Others Say
Nice bottled Indian simmer sauce
Do you enjoy Indian cooking? This bottled product, Tikka Masala (by Maya Kaimal), isn't bad! I stopped by Williams-Sonoma earlier in the week and couldn't resist trying this. I have had some fine Indian cooking at restaurants with this flavoring.
What's in the sauce? Ingredients include tomatoes (puree and paste), yogurt, some milk, ginger, garlic, cilantro, pepper, and so on. The end result is a smooth and mildly spicy taste.
Not bad...!
This pre-made tikka masala sauce is actually not bad... A bit tart, and could be thickened up a bit, but overall, it's pretty tasty. Nice mix of spices, and not too rich. Just tried it with same garbanzo beans and peas mixed in, and it worked quite well. I look forward to trying the other Maya Kaimal sauces soon.
