TASTY BITE Punjabi-style Butter Chicken Simmer Sauce, 7 oz x 5 — Vegetarian, Ready in 2 Minutes

TASTY BITE Punjabi Style Butter Chicken Simmer Sauce is a ready-to-heat, vegetarian sauce made from slow-simmered tomatoes and cashews in butter, crafted to finish over rice or your choice of protein in under two minutes.

This five-pack of 7-ounce pouches delivers a convenient, authentic Punjabi-style butter chicken base without the need for lengthy preparation. Each pouch is designed to serve 3–4 people when paired with rice or a protein like paneer or chicken. The sauce uses simple, recognizable ingredients including tomatoes, cashews and traditional spices such as cumin, garlic and turmeric, and follows TASTY BITE’s approach of slow simmering for depth of flavor.

How do I prepare this sauce quickly for a weeknight meal?

For the fastest option, vent the pouch and warm in the microwave for about 75 seconds, then pour over rice or your cooked protein. For more texture and integration, sauté your chosen protein and vegetables first and finish by simmering with the sauce on the stovetop.

• Microwave: vent pouch and heat 75 seconds; serve over rice or protein.
• Stovetop: sauté 5–6 oz protein per pouch, add 3 tbsp water and simmer 5–10 minutes.
• Suggested proteins: paneer for vegetarian meals, chicken for traditional pairing.
• Yields: about 3–4 servings per 7-ounce pouch.

What flavor profile and ingredients should I expect from this Punjabi-style sauce?

The sauce balances tangy slow-cooked tomatoes with rich cashews and a buttery mouthfeel, anchored by warm spices like cumin and turmeric. It’s intended to mimic the classic Punjabi butter chicken taste while remaining vegetarian-friendly by using cashews for creaminess instead of dairy alone.

• Key notes: tomato acidity, cashew creaminess, buttery finish with warm spices.
• Spices: cumin, garlic, turmeric and other traditional seasonings.

• Bowl: spoon over a grain bowl with roasted veggies and fresh herbs.
