If before last night you tried to tell me it was possible to make high quality Indian food in your home in 30 minutes. I would have called you a liar. And maybe pulled your hair a little.
But now! I have seen the light, and it is called Gourmantra.
Gourmantra is a family run company from Ontario that was started by Rekha Prasad and her two daughters. They have created 4 meal kits containing the spices and sauces needed to make authentic Indian food in your very own kitchen.
I was lucky enough to receive a kit to make Butter Chicken, one of my favorite Indian dishes.
Here's what the kit contained:
We've got rice, ginger and garlic puree, tomato puree, and butter chicken spice blend. All you need to have at home is oil, chicken, water and cream.
The directions are clear and easy to follow. In just under 30 minutes I had a pot of basmati rice and a pan of the most wonderful smelling butter chicken. The sauce on the chicken was fantastic - spicy, but not over the top, and so flavorful. The kit (which says it makes 3-4 servings) easily fed all 4 of us. Although at first I thought that perhaps there was too much sauce for the chicken, we scraped that pot clean.
In addition to the Butter Chicken, Gourmantra also has kits for Channa Masala (chickpeas), Tandoori, and Korma, for which you could use whatever meat/vegetable you so desire.
I was sorely disappointed to learn that currently these kits are only available for sale in Ontario. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that the company will (soon!) be selling their great products out West too.
