Cant stop raving about Tiger Tiger Indian Sauces
Posted on Sep 04 in chicken, cooking, ingredient, product, reviewby NikaPrint
I would like to introduce you to a product made by the Tiger Tiger company that I found at my big box grocery store here in Massachusetts (USA) that has wowed me to such a degree that I am actually writing about it here. If you are a regular reader, you would know that I don’t usually do this sort of thing.
I have used several of their Indian Sauces:
- Kashmiri Mild Korma Sauce
- Peshwari Murgh Tikka Masala
- A creamy butter sauce I can not find listed on their site
Tiger Tiger makes much more than these three sauces. They make Thai, Japanese, and Chinese sauces.
Their product range is wide, including:
- gluten-free noodles and nutty snacks
- many more coconut, wasabi, rice snacks
- cooking sauces
- salad dressings
- asian dipping dressings and sauces
- marinades
- soups
- various noodles and rices
- Indian and Thai spices and pastes
- all sorts of chutneys
- preserved exotic fruits and vegetables
- coconut products
- gift baskets (which they oddly call hampers)
One thing I know about Indian food is that the sauces, which can make or break a recipe, are long labors of love. I do not keep the whole Indian spice arsenal on hand at home so I never cook Indian recipes.
These Tiger Tiger Indian sauces taste so fantastic and are so useful to make just about any protein seem like a meal from the finest of restaurants.
If I had known that their product photography was so fantastically woeful, I would have shot the jar before I used it. For the purposes of immediacy, I have put one of their photos of the Kashmiri Mild Korma sauce here.
I am not at all certain what they are thinking using photos like this on the web. You can see from the packaging that they have done a professional job of branding and packaging but it is not well conveyed on their site.
What matters to me is the taste but its hard to blog such substandard hazy fuzzy photos!
The other night, I pulled out the Kashmiri Mild Korma sauce and, while crossing my fingers, poured it over some browned ground turkey. I usually never buy ground poultry but the price was right.
The korma sauce transformed the vague ground turkey into a resplendent delightful sauce that I poured over some authentic basmati rice.
For the basmati rice, I bought a tiny package of real basmati rice from Tilda.
Visit the Tilda site for sure. Their site is the diametric opposite of the Tiger Tiger site. Its beautiful, functional, evocative.
Try this link within the Tilda site for some Indian Recipes.
The directions were completely different than regular rice – boil one cup of rice in 6 cups of water for 8-10 minutes and then RINSE with boiling water.
Wild huh?
I let go of my “ingrained” Colombian rice-training and followed the directions to yield knock-out basmati rice.
I apologize for not having photos of any of this but it was night and we ate it so fast, there was no chance to shoot.
Bottom Line:
If you can find the Tiger Tiger products, buy some and try it.
I can see using this with anything from ground beef, pork, poultry, and small pieces of such meats, to tofu.
I am going to get another jar (or 10!) and use it on some cod and also some shrimp.
I just can’t wait!
Let me know if you try it too!

Now, which big box store are we talking about? I’m close enough to central Mass. to track this down, and it definitely sounds like it’s worth the trip (oh, and I can stop by for more of Brian’s barbecue, too!). I blogged about Tilda rice last week — isn’t it just wonderful?
Stop N Shop! I figured people from other states and other parts of the world would have no clue what I was referring to
. I bet you could find it in a Stop N Shop near you. I think this week is the Brimfield Antique show (9/4-9/9) so Brian and smoker-house will be at the food area in the show center. If you come up now you could shop for expensive (ok, the hype is that its cheap .. but, well, we know its marked up) antiques and then the BBQ 
.
A link to the show is – http://www.brimfieldshow.com/
Tiger Tiger Vindaloo Sauce rocks!
Try Whole Foods. Some stores have it. Some don’t.
Bert: I need to try that for sure! Will check out WFs for this next time I make the trek there. Thanks for the heads-up!
tiger tiger’s chicken butter simmers sauce just made me melt. I have eaten a LOT of Indian food, and this was like nothing I ever tasted or made myself. Now, every time I try a new indian restaraunt I am dissapointed (so, BEWARE!).
I bought it on clearance at meijer super store here in midwest and wished had bought every jar on the rack! I normally hesitate when buying clearanced food in jars because they can be really bad, but I got great vibes from the packaging and knew as I stingily put just one jar in my cart I would regret – Now I cannot find it anywhere! You bet I will be calling the Whole Foods 30 miles from here to see if they have it thanks for that tip!
– the tiger tiger web site says they are not currently shipping outside of u.k.. I did e-mail them begging a bulk shipment anyway!
WHERE IS THE WEBSITE? I CANT SEEM TO FIND IT.
The link is right here http://www.tigertiger.info/
