Why We Love It

• Teeming with global flavors and aromatic spices, our tomato-based sauce is the ultimate Tikka Masala starter. The ingredients are slow-cooked to create rich, flavorful sauce that normally takes hours to prepare. Prep couldn't be easier – just brown chicken pieces on the stovetop, then add the base and simmer in your Instant Pot.
