Maya Kaimal Fine Indian Foods Everyday Dal Review

Maya Kaimal Fine Indian Foods Everyday Chana Review
Maya Kaimal is a cookbook author and founder of Maya Kaimal Fine Indian Foods.
You can read more about her on the About section of their website. This
vegetarian brand has an array of products such as simmer sauces (such as Madras
Curry, Goan Coconut, and more), naan chips, chickpea chips, spicy ketchup,
refrigerated sauces, and the Everyday Chana line, which is what I had the pleasure
of trying! Not all of their products are vegan, but they are all vegetarian. On the
website, they are clearly labeled with what is vegan and what is vegetarian. They
also give you an ingredient listing and nutrition information. The ingredients are
very simple, so if you find these products in stores, it's very obvious which ones
are not vegan. Gotta love simple ingredients! What a hassle to read ingredients
you've never heard of before, right? Then you're standing in the middle of an aisle
at a store, Googling what the heck cochineal is, just to find out it's a dye made
from crushing insects. You won't find weird shit like that at Maya Kaimal Recipes.
Unless you've never heard of fenugreek (it's an herb; don't worry).
You can purchase these products at a select number of online stores. They also
have a store locator, where you can select which products you're looking for and
see where they are sold! For instance, near me, they're carried at a number of
stores, such as Wegmans, Stop & Shop, Dean’s Natural Market, Target, Food
town, and more! The chips are also at a number of Rite Aids near me!

I got to try 4 different kinds of the Everyday Chana: Tamarind & Sweet Potato,
Coconut & Kale, Coconut & Green Chili, and Tomato & Onion. I invited a couple of
friends over, got some naan from Babur Garden (because holy shit, vegan naan!),
made some basmati rice and we dug in! Before we even tried, I already declared
my favorite would be the red lentil, butternut squash, and coconut. Based on the
main ingredients, I assumed that would be the one I was into the most. However,
like all of us at the table, every new one we tried was our favorite and, in the end,
we loved every single one and couldn't decide if we liked one better than the
other or not! I still can't. They all had certain qualities to them that made me
want to keep eating them. Whether they were chunky and hearty or smooth and
creamy, they all worked so well and we were all delighted at the end of this meal!
I also was thinking that, because these are coming out of a packet you can buy in
stores, it would have a lower quality feel and taste to it. You know, a processed
food kind of vibe? It didn't. I heated them up on the stove and it felt like we were
sitting down at an awesome restaurant, eating food that was just made.It was
unbelievable! It was something that we all commented on with every few bites of
food. It continued to blow us away and I can't wait to get my hands on more
products from Maya Kaimal because every bite made me happy. That's a quality
to look for in food! I've heard amazing things about the simmer sauces from
everyone anytime I reposted something from this brand. I think the most amazing
thing is that's how I even found out about this brand! One of you tagged me in a
post on Instagram that I reposted and then the company reached out to me and I
started paying attention to this brand a lot more. You better believe I will be
looking for them the next time I go shopping!
Have you tried Maya Kaimal Fine Indian Foods? What's your favorite product
from them? Is it a simmering sauce? If so, tell me what you make with them!
Vegan only, of course. No animals being killed or tortured over here, please. I'm
definitely interested in adding these to my pantry staples!
