You’ve ordered your fresh curry sauces from Cook Smart, but now what? Pairing the right sauce with the right ingredients can elevate your dish to new heights. Here’s a guide to help you pair our sauces with some of your favorite proteins, vegetables, and sides for an unforgettable meal.
1. Tikka Masala Sauce – Ideal for Chicken or Paneer
Our Tikka Masala sauce is rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. It’s the perfect match for grilled chicken or cubed paneer. The subtle sweetness of the sauce complements the smoky flavors of the grilled protein. Pair it with some garlic naan or fluffy basmati rice for a restaurant-quality meal at home.
2. Rogan Josh Sauce – Perfect for Lamb or Mushrooms
Cook Smart’s Rogan Josh sauce, known for its deep and aromatic spices, works wonderfully with tender lamb. If you prefer a vegetarian option, sautéed mushrooms soak up the bold flavors beautifully. Serve this dish with saffron rice or steamed vegetables for a hearty and satisfying meal.
3. Korma Sauce – Best with Prawns or Cauliflower
Our Korma sauce is a milder, creamier curry, making it ideal for delicate proteins like prawns. The subtle coconut and almond notes in the sauce enhance the sweetness of seafood. Alternatively, roasted cauliflower also works beautifully, absorbing the rich flavors. Add a side of fluffy roti to complete the dish.
4. Vindaloo Sauce – Pair with Pork or Eggplant
Vindaloo is known for its fiery heat and bold spices, and it pairs excellently with pork, which balances the intensity with its natural richness. For vegetarians, roasted eggplant provides a great alternative, as it soaks up the heat and flavor while maintaining a meaty texture. Serve with some cooling cucumber raita to balance the spice.
5. Butter Chicken Sauce – Great for Grilled Vegetables or Tofu
Our Butter Chicken sauce is creamy and slightly tangy, perfect for grilled vegetables or tofu. This versatile sauce brings out the flavors in grilled zucchini, bell peppers, and tofu while providing a creamy base that ties the dish together. Serve with a side of steamed jasmine rice or warm chapati for a comforting meal.
