Maya Kaimal's interest in food has been prominent since her childhood. Her curiosity in spice, taste, and cooking first developed during family trips to Kerala, India.

Starting her career as a visual artist, Kaimal found herself drawn to the culinary arts when she saw the gap between what she grew up eating as traditional Indian food and what Western world interpretations of Indian food was. To help educate Western audiences and make Indian food more accessible, she wrote three cookbooks on the subject. Along with her husband Guy Lawson, Kaimal took family recipes to create her own line of Indian products that can be found in grocery stores across the world.

Savoring the Spice Coast of India: Fresh Flavors from Kerala -

Here in Special Collections, we have two of Maya Kaimal's cookbooks, including Savoring the Spice Coast of India: Fresh Flavors from Kerala.

According to Publishers Weekly, "With northern India's Moghul cuisine now a culinary mainstay in the U.S., Kaimal (Curried Favors) returns to her ancestral homeland on the southwestern edge of the country, where a greater emphasis is placed on ingredients such as coconut, tamarind, brown mustard seeds and curry leaves. (These last are so important that Kaimal even provides a source for curry leaf plants.)"

Maya Kaimal Cauliflower Tikka Masala | Canal House Cooks Lunch

We’re at our local farm markets almost everyday now, shopping for lunch or dinner. But today, we had to grab a few things at the supermarket. Passing by the produce section, we stopped dead in our tracks—the heads of cauliflower were surprisingly gorgeous. Creamy white with lots of green leaves. Into the shopping cart went a head, then we went straight to the International Section aisle and picked up a jar of our friend Maya Kaimal’s Tikka Masala Indian Simmering Sauce. At the studio we sautéed some onions, added the simmering sauce, big florets of blanched cauliflower, some chick peas, and English peas then garnished the dish with chopped cilantro and wedges of lime to squeeze on at the table. We say this every time we cook with Maya’s sauces, “Thank you Maya Kaimal for making life so easy and delicious”.

Seasoned Dhal

From Maya Kaimal’s Savoring the Spice Coast of India

As per your request, Jeri...

This dhal is totally satisfying as a simple meal with rice or a wonderful addition to a more elaborate, South Indian feast.

Thank you, THANK YOU, Maya Kaimal, for your totally correct and delicious recipes! They always work!

Ingredients:

1 cup thoor dhal, masoor dhal, or yellow split peas

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds

1 dried red chili

10 fresh curry leaves (optional*)

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 teaspoon minced garlic

Ground Masala

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon ghee (optional**)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl wash the dhal in several changes of water; drain. Place the dhal and 2 1/2 cups water in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, partially covered, for 30 minutes (45 minutes for yellow split peas), or until the water is absorbed and the peas break up under pressure from the back of a spoon. Check to make sure it doesn’t boil over.

2. When the dhal has finished cooking, heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the mustard seeds to the oil and heat until they pop. When the popping subsides, toss in the dried red chili and curry leaves. After a few seconds, add the onion and fry until light brown. Put in the garlic and fry 1 minute. Next, add the ground masala and fry for another minute. Stir this mixture into the dhal, along with 1/2 cup water and the salt. Partially cover and continue simmering another 10 minutes, adding more water if the mixture is too thick. It should be the consistency of thick pea soup. Remove from the heat.

3. Stir in the lemon juice and ghee. Taste for salt.

*Maya Kaimal always adds “optional” after the curry leaves. I always opt to use them.

** I have never added the ghee because I have never had any. Go figure...

Goan Coconut Chicken and Vegetables, E.A.T #27

I like to make cozy at-home dinners, but on the other hand, I do not like to spend hours in the kitchen on my weekends. I enjoy making soups and stews, one-pot meals that can be quickly put together using good ingredients that aren’t too fussy. I also feel I have gotten into a culinary rut…always making the same things over and over….I mixed it up a bit with this recipe.

 With one jar of Goan…

1: Changing of the Guard

In Mahi City, the citizens have always trusted in their superheroes to save the day, yet the latest villain to shake the city seems to defeat them all with ease. It’s only when a small group of teens starts putting together exactly what Keeper’s powers are and decide that they’ll be the ones to stop him.

The Most Popular Hot Sauce In Each State

Instacart's data reveals where customers can't get enough of Frank's RedHot, Huy Fong Sriracha and more.

— By Caroline Bologna | 01/18/2022 | HuffPost.Com | Instacart

For many Americans, few meals feel complete without a little — or a lot of — hot sauce. But there are geographic preferences when it comes to the specific hot sauce brands they tend to choose.

In honor of National Hot Sauce Day on Jan. 22, the folks at the online grocery platform Instacart analyzed its purchase data to identify the most popular hot sauce in each state. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Huy Fong Sriracha is a big favorite, especially out West.

According to sales data between December 2020 and November 2021, Huy Fong Sriracha is the most purchased hot sauce in the United States overall and in 31 states, based on volume. The second most popular is Frank’s RedHot, which is No. 1 in 14 states including New York, Kentucky and Missouri.

Beyond those two big brands, Burman’s takes the top spot in Iowa, while Bueno and Village Hot Sauce dominate in their respective home states of New Mexico and North Dakota. Ironically, Original Louisiana is the most popular in Mississippi but not Louisiana, and Texas Pete is No. 1 in North and South Carolina but not Texas. (Although in perhaps the biggest irony of all, the latter is unsurprising because the brand actually hails from Winston-Salem, far from the Lone Star State).

Instacart also identified the states that buy the most hot sauce (North Dakota, New Mexico, Colorado, California and North Carolina) and the ones that purchase the least amount of hot sauce (Hawaii, Iowa, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Rhode Island).

In addition to analyzing sales data, Instacart also teamed up with The Harris Poll to conduct an online survey of around 2,000 adults about their hot sauce preferences.

Based on the results, 74% of Americans eat hot sauce with their food and 45% typically add it to a meal at least once a week. Among those who use hot sauce, 67% said they are passionate about their preferred brand.

Still, 83% of hot sauce users reported being very or somewhat open to trying new hot sauce brands. Instacart also reported that Maya Kaimal and Truff are the fastest growing hot sauce brands.

A Hot Take on America’s Favorite Hot Sauces 🌶

One thing is certain when it comes to Americans’ food preferences — everything is better with hot sauce. From sandwiches and burritos to soups and eggs, these foods and many more in between are arguably better with a little heat. According to a recent Instacart survey conducted online by The Harris Poll among over 2,000 U.S. adults, 74% of Americans eat hot sauce with their food, and nearly half (45%) said they typically dash hot sauce on their food once a week or more often. What’s more, among those who use hot sauce, 67% say they are passionate about their favorite brand — suggesting they will go to bat for their favorite spicy sauce. With National Hot Sauce Day approaching on January 22, we conducted a deep dive using Instacart purchase and survey data to uncover America’s hot sauce preferences.

America’s Spiciest Debate: Which Hot Sauces Reign Supreme?

Using Instacart purchase data, we identified the top purchased hot sauce in each U.S. state, which gave us a few surprises. Huy Fong, the makers of the famous “rooster sauce” Sriracha, is the top hot sauce in 31 states including nearly the entire western region, followed by Frank’s RedHot in 14 states located primarily in the Midwest and Northeast. Texas Pete is number one in the Carolinas — and surprisingly not Texas — and Original Louisiana hot sauce takes the top spot in Mississippi instead of its namesake of Louisiana. Staying true to local roots, Village Hot Sauce from Grand Forks, North Dakota is the most popular hot sauce in the state while New Mexico favors the green and red chili heat from local, family-owned Bueno. Lastly, Iowa stands alone when it comes to its hot sauce preference for Burman’s hot sauce.

Based on the top hot sauce in each state insight, it may not come as a surprise that Huy Fong Sriracha and Frank’s RedHot top the list as the #1 and #2 hot sauces sold via Instacart by weight. Outside of those two hot sauce behemoths, here are the other spicy sauces Americans love to use to heat things up:

Getting Hot, Hot, Hot in The Spiciest States

Instacart customers buy a lot of hot sauce. Between December 2020 and November 2021, Instacart customers purchased 444,854 gallons of hot sauce. To put that into perspective, that’s enough hot sauce to fill 18,536 kiddie pools. With that said, some states do have a bigger hankering for spicy foods. Check out Instacart’s heat map that shows which states purchase the most hot sauce on the Instacart platform.

According to the hot sauce heat map, these states buy the most hot sauce to keep things spicy:

North Dakota (5.4 ounces/customer)

New Mexico (4.4 ounces/customer)

Colorado (4.0 ounces/customer)

California (3.5 ounces/customer)

North Carolina (3.1 ounces/customer)

Meanwhile, people living in these states don’t prefer as much heat and buy the least amount of hot sauce in the country:

Hawaii (1.3 ounces/customer)

Iowa (1.4 ounces/customer)

Arkansas (1.5 ounces/customer)

Oklahoma (1.5 ounces/customer)

Rhode Island (1.5 ounces/customer)

Here’s an even closer look at some of the ‘hottest’ findings when it comes to Americans’ hot sauce preferences, according to our Harris Poll survey:

Most of us like it hot. More than half (59%) of hot sauce eaters typically prefer the heat level of their hot sauce to be hot, with 46% preferring “regular hot” hot sauce and 14% opting for “as hot as it gets.”

Variety is the spice of life. More than two-thirds (68%) of hot sauce eaters currently have two or more different brands of hot sauce at home, and 80% use different hot sauce brands and/or flavors with different types of food. Because who doesn’t prefer Cholula on their tacos and Frank’s RedHot on their wings?!

New spicy frontiers. Let’s not confuse passion with loyalty — 83% of hot sauce eaters are either very or somewhat open to trying hot sauce brands that are new to the market, and 71% are either very or somewhat likely to purchase something new over their favorite hot sauce brand.

Trend alert! “Over the past year, we’ve noticed that hot sauce enthusiasts are reaching for newer brands like Maya Kaimal and TRUFF, which top the list for Instacart’s fastest-growing hot sauce brands,” said Laurentia Romaniuk, Instacart’s Trends Expert. “These newer brands are likely gaining traction among hot sauce enthusiasts because they offer up unique flavor profiles that also pack a punch, incorporating everything from truffles to traditional Indian spices. With many hot sauce lovers willing to go to Scoville extremes, it’s no surprise they’re also branching out and becoming more adventurous when it comes to discovering new flavor options.”

Non-traditional hot sauce pairings. Not surprisingly, tacos (66%), burritos (60%), and meat (57%) top the list of foods that hot sauce eaters say they like to put hot sauce on. However, the non-traditional foods that caught our attention include chips (30%), popcorn (17%), and ice cream (8%). Tapatio with vanilla ice cream, anyone?

Heating up when the sun goes down. Not all meals are created equal when it comes to adding hot sauce, with 81% of hot sauce eaters eating hot sauce at dinner and only 24% eating hot sauce during breakfast.

‘Tis The Season For Hot Sauce!

According to Instacart insights, customers purchase hot sauce regularly throughout the year, but there is one moment in time where hot sauce purchases peak: during football’s biggest game in February. Last year, hot sauce sales spiked by 45% during the week ending on the big game day compared to the rest of the year. On top of that, Instacart has also noticed a year-over-year increase in the amount of hot sauce purchased during the week of the big game. In 2021, customers purchased 11.7% more hot sauce per customer than in 2020, and 21.6% more than in 2019.

The timing of National Hot Sauce Day on January 22 is fairly punctual considering the big game follows just a few weeks after. Let’s bring on the heat! 🔥🌶

Instacart Data Methodology:

All sales and trend insights are from Instacart platform-wide data between December 2020 and November 2021.

Survey Methodology:

This survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Instacart from December 20-22, 2021, among 2,025 adults ages 18+, among whom 1,422 eat hot sauce. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated. For complete survey methodology, including weighting variables and subgroup sample sizes, please contact press@instacart.com.
