CHEF CYRUS TODIWALA LAUNCHES NEW RANGE OF
FRESH COOKING SAUCES

Cyrus Todiwala, the pioneering Chef Patron of Cafe Spice Namaste, has launched a new range of fresh, chilled cooking sauces under the Mr Todiwala’s brand. The sauces, which are available in 350 gram pouches, come in five different varieties, and are kitchen-made at his landmark Indian restaurant a stone’s throw from the Tower of London.

Mr Todiwala’s Splendidly Flavoursome Indian Sauces bear all the hallmarks of Chef Cyrus’ inimitable style: the use of locally sourced, free-range and sustainable ingredients wherever possible, combined with exotic spices to yield flavours both elegant and refined. None of the sauces contain artificial flavourings or colourants and are suitable for home freezing. They can be used to cook vegetables, fish, beef, lamb or chicken, and are also ideal for vegetarians and celiacs. They reflect Chef Cyrus’ overall commitment to quality, widely acknowledged as hard to beat.

Cyrus Todiwala said, ’For years, visitors to Café Spice Namaste had been asking me and my wife and business partner Pervin to create a range of authentic cooking sauces that they could use to cook at home. I guess they wanted a little bit of Café Spice Namaste in their own kitchens, but with the convenience demanded by their busy lives. In a way, this is for them!’
The five varieties of cooking sauce are:

Mr Todiwala’s Makhani – a hint of green chilli and fresh ginger adds pep to this lush and creamy sauce – perfect for making an authentic North Indian Chicken Makhani dish
Mr Todiwala’s Bhuna – slowly cooked minced onions, tomatoes and roasted spices finished by blending pureed caramelised onions and yoghurt to a rich texture – perfect for making an authentic Chicken Bhuna
Mr Todiwala’s Dhaansaak Daal – a pot-pourri of lentils and vegetables and pureed, traditionally finished lamb, perfect for making an authentic Lamb Dhaansaak
Mr Todiwala’s Vindaloo –of Portuguese origin, the sauce as Cyrus know it in Goa, not fiery hot but by no means mild - perfect for making authentic Goan Vindaloo.
Mr Todiwala’s Chettinad – a hot and zingy sauce from the Madras region’s original devilled sauce recipe – perfect for making an authentic Chicken Chettinad

Mr Todiwala’s Splendidly Flavoursome Indian Sauces are now available at Selfridges Food Halls in Oxford Street and at the Real Food Festival at Borough Market. They will also be available at the Real Food Show at Earls Court Olympia from 7-10 May 2010.
