A local doctor at Beaumont Hospital, Dr. Asha Patel, is getting much media attention for her company Tasha Foods.

The brain child of the busy mother of two and practicing physician, Patel said she was interested in providing healthy but tasty meals for her family.

She began making her own curries, which have now evolved into a business with many local stores carrying her products.

She developed her own sauces because of her dissatisfaction when she was unable to find curries she liked in stores. The curries became so popular with family and friends that she decided she should produce them for other working families.

Patel said her curries "appeal to a broad segment of people who are interested in making fresh homemade dishes which are not only convenient and easy to put together but extremely healthy and tasty."

The curry sauces sell for about $3.99.
