Rich in flavor, vibrantly hued, luxuriously creamy, and exhilaratingly aromatic, tikka masala is one of those dishes that’s truly capable of captivating all of one’s senses at once—even just the sound of it simmering is enough to pique our appetites. It also happens to be a dish that’s spectacularly suited to vegan variations, like the recipe we use in Trader Joe’s Tikka Masala Curry Sauce. Each batch is made with a savory, velvety base that includes onion, tomato paste, and ground watermelon seeds, and flavored with a selection of seasonings and spices including garlic, turmeric, tamarind, and ginger. Altogether, this Tikka Masala Sauce is great for crafting Curries that will enchant the senses of vegans and non-vegans alike.

Conveniently shelf table (until opened) and endlessly customizable, our Tikka Masala Curry Sauce is a great for everything from quick weeknight dinners to weekly meal prep. Simply choose your veggies (diced potatoes, peas, and cauliflower are always a good start) and a protein (tofu or lentils to keep it plant-based, chicken to keep it classic), sauté them all in a saucepan until cooked through, then add the Sauce and simmer for a few minutes. Once your Curry is ready, you’re free to serve over basmati rice or Organic Riced Cauliflower, and accessorize with sides like Naan and Mini Vegetable Samosas.
