Patak’s Kashmiri Masala Paste is a ready-to-use spice paste inspired by the flavors of Kashmiri cuisine, offering a fragrant, mildly spiced profile and a rich red hue. It balances the sweet, smoky notes associated with Kashmiri chillies with warm ground spices and aromatics to create a versatile base that adds depth and colour to curries and sauces without overpowering other ingredients. The smooth, concentrated paste lets home cooks achieve authentic-tasting dishes quickly and consistently, making it ideal for both traditional recipes and modern adaptations.

To use, spoon the paste directly into hot oil to release its aromas before adding onions, vegetables or meat, or stir it into simmering sauces, soups or coconut milk to create an instant curry base. It also works well as a marinade when mixed with a little oil or yogurt, or as a finishing flavour boost to roasted vegetables and stir-fries; adjust the amount to suit your preferred heat level. Store unopened in a cool, dry place and refrigerate after opening; follow the pack for best-before and storage instructions.
