Patak's Curry Pastes, Pickles and Chutney
Patak's is the name many UK kitchens reach for when they want restaurant-style Indian flavour at home without grinding a cupboard full of whole spices. We stock the Patak's range cooks come back for: spice pastes for a quick curry base, marinade pastes for tandoori and tikka, plus classic pickles and mango chutney to serve on the side.
Patak's Spice Pastes
Each spice paste is a ready-made blend of spices and oil, so the hard work of building flavour is already done. Fry a few spoonfuls with onion, add your meat, vegetables, paneer or chickpeas, then tomatoes, stock or coconut milk, and simmer.
- Mild: Korma and Mild Curry are gentle, family friendly starting points.
- Classic curry house favourites: Tikka Masala, Balti, Bhuna, Rogan Josh, Kashmiri Masala, Biryani and Garam Masala.
- Hot: Madras, Vindaloo and Extra Hot for proper heat.
Tandoori and Tikka Marinade Pastes
Mix Patak's Tandoori Marinade Paste or Tikka Marinade Paste with natural yoghurt, coat chicken, paneer or vegetables, and leave to marinate before grilling, roasting or cooking on the barbecue. They are an easy way to make tikka skewers, tandoori traybakes and kebabs at home.
Patak's Pickles and Mango Chutney
No curry night is complete without something on the side. Lime Pickle is sharp and punchy, Mango Pickle is tangy and spiced, and Chilli Pickle brings the heat. For something different, try Garlic Pickle, Aubergine Pickle or Mixed Pickle. Sweet, mellow Mango Chutney is the classic partner for poppadoms, samosas and cheese sandwiches.
