I can vouch for Rupen's Masala Simmer Sauce, it has just a bit of a kick to it, with really nice flavors of tomato, garlic, and ginger (among others). I was lucky enough to be gifted a private cooking lesson for 4 with Rupen about a year and a half ago, so I had full trust in his ability to make a tasty sauce.

Made a fantastic butter chicken with this simmer sauce from DC chef @rupenrao. I would have posted a photo, but it didn't last that long!

I was fortunate enough to be gifted a private in-home cooking lesson for 4 with Rupen, and we all had an amazing time cooking with and learning from him! From our email exchanges planning our menu to his responsiveness to my questions regarding certain ingredients to his leading us in our hands-on cooking, Rupen was knowledgeable and delightful. I highly recommend this as a unique and thoughtful gift for yourself or family/friends who love cooking and Indian food!

One of the first things I did after moving to DC was to take a class with Rupen. Fun, tasty food, and good company. Smelling this curry sauce brings me back to that day.

I had the pleasure of seeing and tasting Chef Rupen's food first hand on Saturday, when he was the guest Chef at Southern Season Cooking School in Chapel Hill, NC. The butter chicken was delicious and the red curry lamb was spicy but not overbearing. After class I brought his book and was so excited to have him sign it with a special note to me. Thank you, Chef Rupen.

I just tried the first bottle of Makhani sauce, cooked it with sauteed Paneer. I am speechless. This sauce is better than the best!!! Rich in flavor. Just the right amount of heat. Perfect tangy. And is that final note from fenugreek!!! OMG. Yum Yum Yum.
