I find cooking healthy meals is easy when you plan ahead. Making sauces and marinates ahead of time to use later is guarantee a success for achieving easy, simple and delicious meals for you and your family.

Below is a marinating sauce that you can make ahead of time and store in the fridge to use on just about anything you like. I use this sauce over cauliflower, as a base for stir-fry noodles, to stir-fry or bake any vegetable side dish, such as broccoli, mushrooms, brussel  sprouts, and many other veggies. 

This is an Indian inspired marinating sauce that is very versatile and can be used in so many different ways. I like making my own marinating sauce mainly because I then know with certainty what’s in it. No hidden harmful chemicals like most store bought sauces and marinates. It’s also so cheap to make and effortless. 

Give it a go and see for yourself. Here is a how you can use this marinating sauce to make cauliflower.

Marinating Sauce for Anything and Everything

Do you ever wish you had a delicious home-made marinating sauce to use over anything and everything? Then this easy recipe is for you. Don't let the long list of ingredients discouraged you from making this easy sauce. It's so worth making and storing in the fridge to use on anything you like and when you are in a rush.
It is a raw marinating sauce that has some heat to it. If you don't like it spicy, the only ingredient you need to cut back on is the chillies. You can use this sauce as a base for stir fried noodles, in soups, over vegetables and even to marinate your meats and fish/seafood, before baking, pan frying, steaming and so on.
You can purchase all the spices at your local grocery store or at an Indian or Mexican grocery store. You probably might have some ingredients in your pantry, already. Once you have all the ingredients, all you do is blend and store in a bottle to use over anything you like. It will stay good for up to a month in the fridge.
