“Indian food can be just as easy as pasta night.”

Hi, I'm Angel Tekriwal, founder of SIMMR.

I trained as a chef at the Culinary Institute of America before becoming a food scientist, where I learned how culinary technique and food science work together to create great food.

The idea for SIMMR didn't come from a business plan. It came from a long day.

One evening, I was craving Indian food but couldn't bring myself to spend hours cooking. Instead, I reached for a jar of pasta sauce because dinner would be on the table in about 15 minutes. I remember looking at that jar and thinking, “Why can't Indian food be this easy?”

That question stuck with me.

There were already products on the market, but I couldn't find one that delivered on the things I cared about most: restaurant-style flavor, ingredient quality, and convenience. So I decided to build it myself.

SIMMR is my answer to that question: refrigerated cooking bases made with real ingredients to bring restaurant-style Indian food to your table in about 15 minutes.
