Staying Warm in 2014

Our, “Vijay’s Masala Chicken & Rice Palau Mix”, the perfect cold weather comfort food!

It’s cold. And even now that the Polar Vortex is (slowly) shifting and the end is near, it’s still cold! And probably will remain cold (just hopefully not until April again this year)!

We can’t really complain though, we have a roof over our heads (with a furnace that is pumping strong), and are stocked with a supply of some of the most perfect cold weather foods available (a.k.a. Kaveli kits and mixes)!

We’ve even got proof, as we are excited to announce that Esquire Magazine agrees with this, as we were recently included in their January issue article, “16 Things You Can Do Now That Winter’s Come”!   Check it out:

Slow Cook, but Faster January brings a sense of longing—of nostalgia for grandmotherly meals that require long, slow cooking, preferably by someone else. When forced to man the kitchen yourself, rely on a new generation of simmering sauces, light on additives and long on from-scratch flavor. Ranchero Red and Viva Verde from Two Sisters Fina Cocina (twosistersfinacocina.com) are the basis of traditional Mexican dishes like green-chile stew and enchiladas, and Spicy Nothings sauces (spicynothings.com) make it easy to turn out five types of curry, including a mild korma and a spicy vindaloo, using meat or vegetables. More of a food-kit-in-a-bag, Kaveli (kavelifoods.com) provides the grains, complex seasonings, and a list of perishables you’ll need to make Indian classics like masala chicken and rice palau. You’ll be cooking from the couch in no time. —Francince Maroukian
