Your Indian home cooking is saucy, alright — just not in the way you’d like. So get a gourmet work-around from Rasika.

The swanky Indian restaurant is bottling up its best sauces for use at home. Simmer fish in a spicy, coconut-laced Goan curry or make a tikka-style chicken in the tomato-based makhani sauce. The thick Kashmiri has the perfect spice for smoky grilled meat.

More flavors, like a seductive green herb masala, are soon to come.

The blends are top quality and free of those equally confusing preservatives. Even better, each comes with its own easy recipe.

Soon enough, you’ll be a seasoned pro.

Available at Rasika, 633 D Street NW, between 6th and 7th Streets (202-637-1222 or rasikarestaurant.com).
