Patak's Biryani Paste is a ready-to-use, aromatic cooking paste from Patak’s that brings the characteristic fragrance and layered spice profile of traditional biryani to home kitchens without lengthy preparation. The paste concentrates a blend of warm spices and savory aromatics so you can quickly add depth and color to rice, meat or vegetable dishes. Packaged for convenience, it is designed to simplify the process of making biryani-style meals while delivering bold, fragrant flavor that complements slow-cooked and one-pot recipes.

To use, brown your chosen meat or vegetables in a little oil, stir in Patak’s Biryani Paste and cook briefly until the spices become fragrant, then add rice and the appropriate amount of stock or water and simmer until the rice and protein are cooked through. Alternatively, mix the paste with yogurt or oil to make a quick marinade and leave meat or paneer to marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of paste to suit your taste, follow the cooking times for your chosen rice and protein, and refrigerate after opening according to the storage guidance on the jar.
