Sukhi's Gourmet Indian Foods Brings Home The Gold!

    HAYWARD, CA, August 24, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- After a smashing win in 2008 with the Sukhi's Tikka Masala Sauce, once again Sukhi's has the winning recipe! Sukhi's Gourmet Indian Foods added another Gold SOFI to their award shelf for their Samosas & Chutney - the winner in the Outstanding Frozen Savory Item category at this year's New York Fancy Food Show. Presented by the not for profit trade association NASFT and hosted by celebrity chef Ming Tsai, the SOFI awards are widely considered the highest honor and are a key indicator of trends in the $60 billion US Specialty food industry.

A traditional Indian appetizer ready to bake and serve, Sukhi's Samosas and Chutney tantalized the taste buds and wowed the judging panel with the fresh flavor of potatoes, peas and authentic Indian spices hand wrapped in a savory dough. The accompanying portion of Sukhi's bright, best selling Cilantro Chutney provided pure dipping pleasure. With this win, Sukhi's becomes the most award winning Indian food company in the history of the NASFT with 5 awards.

Earlier this year Sukhi's new LEAN FARE Chicken Tikka Masala received the Silver Award - a frozen entree from the newly launched LEAN FARE line featuring reduced sodium, calories and fat for healthier Indian meals.
