MAGGI Professional has expanded its world food offering with the launch of three authentic Indian sauces in a new 1L foodservice format, giving operators an easy way to add genuine Indian flavours to menus without increasing kitchen complexity.

The range comprises Hot & Sweet Sauce, Tamarind Sauce and Masala Chilli Sauce. Sourced directly from India and produced to meet UK standards, the sauces have been created to help operators respond to growing demand for authentic global flavours while maintaining consistency, efficiency and profitability in the kitchen.

The launch comes as the Indian sauces category continues to grow in the UK, now worth £11.1 million and up 33% since 2022, with increasing demand for authentic flavours.

Designed for professional kitchens, the 1L format can be used as a cooking base, marinade or finishing glaze across a wide range of dishes, helping operators introduce new menu ideas with minimal preparation time and consistent results. Complementing the foodservice range are MAGGI Professional’s 400ml table sauces, offering an additional front-of-house option for diners looking to personalise their meals.

The range is suitable for a variety of menu applications, from chilli paneer and chicken shashlik to loaded masala fries, tandoori paneer salads and fish dishes, creating opportunities for pubs, independent restaurants and casual dining operators to tap into the growing popularity of Indian cuisine.

Zaheer Khan, Development Chef at MAGGI Professional India, drew on his expertise in authentic Indian cuisine to create sauces that deliver the flavour, aroma and character expected in traditional Indian cooking, and said: “Authenticity was our starting point for this range. We wanted to create sauces that capture the bold, vibrant flavours at the heart of Indian cuisine while making them accessible for chefs working in busy commercial kitchens. By sourcing the products from India and carefully balancing flavour, aroma and texture, we’ve created sauces that stay true to their roots while delivering the consistency and convenience operators need every day.”

Paul Hawkins, Development Chef at Nestlé Professional UK, works closely with operators to develop menu solutions that balance flavour, consistency and operational efficiency, and added: “I’ve been putting these sauces through their paces across a wide range of dishes – from vibrant, loaded salads and street food inspired plates to perfectly grilled meats and as a finishing touch for curries. They’re a brilliant shortcut to authentic Indian flavour, allowing chefs to layer depth and character across the menu while keeping service efficient – without compromising on creativity in the kitchen.”

The range is available now, with the Hot & Sweet Sauce, Tamarind Sauce and Masala Chilli Sauce offering operators an easy way to introduce authentic Indian flavours across a wide variety of dishes.
