Salmon Tikka with Everyday Dal Red Lentils
/You might have guessed this by now, but discovering fresh and flavorful ways to cook at home is by far my #1 hobby!
One of my favorite brands to cook with for years has Maya Kaimal, so I couldn’t be more excited to see their products carried at Whole Foods Market 365 in Concord, CA. My local 365 carries Maya Kaimal’s most delicious (and vegan!) Everyday Dal pouches along with some seriously amazing Indian simmer sauces.
To celebrate, I made salmon with Maya Kaimal’s Tikka Masala sauce over Everyday Dal Red Lentils. The result: easy AND tasty! In the blink of an eye, you will have scrumptious dinner at your table with this recipe.
What’s even neater is that for the entire month of February, both of their product lines are on sale when you buy two!
