Who is  Curry Girl?

​

Bali Mendels is the founder and heart behind CurryGirl, an authentic Punjabi curry sauce brand born from deep cultural roots, family traditions, and an unshakable passion for real, home cooked food.

 

Bali grew up surrounded by the rich aromas and bold flavors of her Punjabi heritage born and raised in England, moved to America when she was 19 Years old, learning that true curry isn’t made with generic “curry powder” it’s built from fresh ingredients, layered spices, and time honored methods passed down through generations.

 

But her journey wasn’t without challenges. Coming from a harsh and unsupportive background that tried to dampen her dreams, Bali rose above the negative influences and refused to let those things define her, she channeled that doubt into determination. What began as her home kitchen creations turned into a growing passion and eventually, a business that’s now winning over customers and retailers alike.

 

Curry Girl was created to fill a gap in the market for flavor-packed, clean-label curry sauces that respect tradition yet fit modern, busy lifestyles. Each jar is more than just food it’s a story of resilience, culture, and proof that when you follow your passion, you can turn “you can’t” into “I did.”

How did Curry Girl Happen ?

​

​

I started selling 32oz jars of my homemade curry sauce out of a cooler at the Dallas Farmer’s Market. And the response? Overwhelming. Every time, I sold out. I knew I had created something special. But getting my sauce to the shelves wasn’t easy.

​

At 43, after years of persistence, I finally made it happen. I fought to keep my sauce clean—no chemicals, no preservatives—just real ingredients, as they should be. Many manufacturers told me it couldn’t be done. Some even spoke down to me, raising prices, doubting my vision, telling me that even an Indian chef from India couldn’t pass this sauce without preservatives. But they underestimated me. If there’s one thing you should know about me, I don’t back down easily.

​

So, I took matters into my own hands. I pushed through every challenge and refused to compromise. Today, I am beyond proud to say that Curry Girl is the first truly authentic Punjabi curry sauce in a jar, made with zero preservatives, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free, sugar-free, and seed oil-free just pure, concentrated flavor in every spoonful.

​

Did you know that Punjabi curry is known as one of the best Indian curries? It’s earthy, deeply aromatic, and perfectly balanced, never overpowering, never watered down. And because we cook in large batches, my concentrated sauce can easily feed 10-15 people when used correctly. No more tiny, diluted jars that barely serve two!

​

As a proud Indian woman-owned business, I am honored to share my handcrafted curry sauce with you. Made with a secret blend of aromatic spices and herbs, it’s a flavor explosion like no other. Whether you're craving a hearty chicken curry or a bold vegan dish, this sauce is your key to unlocking true, restaurant-quality Indian flavors in your own kitchen.

​
