INDIAN CUISINE IS ALL ABOUT THE AROMATICS
Fragrant seasonings—including chilies, coriander, cumin, cloves and mustard seeds—deliver an incredible depth of flavor to curries, cooking sauces and marinades, often with a coconut milk or yogurt base. And with the current popularity of comfort food, it’s no surprise that Indian sauces on this creamy end of the spectrum are found on mashup menu items like pizza, tacos and burgers.
For operators taking a more authentic approach, these sauces beautifully complement lentils, paneer, eggplant and cauliflower, just a few of the plant-based ingredients that play starring roles in Indian dishes.
