AMRIT SIMMER SAUCES are a quick, easy way to prepare a delicious meal. Add cooked/grilled meat, fish, shrimp, tofu or vegetables and simmer for 10 min. Serve with rice or bread. Voila! Or bring out the creative chef in you and use it your way - you can't go wrong.
Our CHUTNEYS are slow cooked with fresh fruits and assorted spices - a unique combination of sweet, tart and spicy flavors. A traditional palate refresher served at the end of the meal, these chutneys are versatile enough to be used with cheese and crackers, meat, sandwiches, diluted as a glaze or made into a delicious dip or dressing by adding it to mayo. Or as we do in our home, eat by the spoonful just like that!
At the farmers markets, our CHHOLE has serious addicts! We have customers who look up to the skies and thank the stars when they think they have scored the last container of the day! It is that good. As usual, our simple preparation and balanced flavors leave them mystified and satisfied.
SEASONAL SOUPS Our seasonal soups are based on the produce and feel of the season. Red Lentil Mint & Bulgur Soup is based on the Bengali staple of red lentil (musurir dal) with rice and a hint of mint. Our summer soups of Simple Spiced Carrot and Summer Squash with Fresh Cilantro are good both cold or warm and are naturally high fiber low calorie soups. And the sweet and earthy Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Apples and Fresh Peppers is a fall favorite. Gently seasoned, they are refreshing starters or meals by themselves.
ALL our products are vegetarian and many are vegan as well! We use farmers market produce whenever possible.
