 Understanding Tandoori  Paste.
Tandoori cooking traditionally involves marinating food in a yogurt and spice mixture before cooking at high heat in a cylindrical clay oven (tandoor). Patak's Tandoori Paste provides the essential spice base for this marinade.

• Authentic Tandoori Flavor Profile: Carefully blended to deliver the characteristic tangy, spicy (usually mild to medium), smoky, and deeply aromatic notes of classic tandoori dishes.
• Rich Blend of Spices: Typically includes ginger, garlic, tamarind for tang, coriander, cumin, paprika (for color), garam masala spices, and other traditional Indian condiments.
• Perfect for Marinades: Designed to be mixed, often with yogurt, to create a thick marinade that clings to food, tenderizes it, and infuses it with flavor.
• Vibrant Natural Colour: Often imparts an appealing reddish-orange hue to the marinated food, reminiscent of tandoor-cooked dishes.
• Versatile for Grilling, Baking, or BBQ: While traditionally for tandoor, this paste is excellent for modern cooking methods, achieving delicious results on your home grill, in the oven, or on the barbecue.
• Convenient & Time-Saving: This ready-to-use paste significantly reduces the effort of sourcing and grinding numerous individual spices for your tandoori marinade.
• Trusted Patak's Quality: Patak's has a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality, authentic Indian food products.

 How to Use Patak's Tandoori Paste.

Patak's jars typically provide detailed usage instructions and recipe ideas.

1. For approximately 4 servings, mix 2-3 tablespoons of Patak's Tandoori Marinade Paste with 2-3 tablespoons of plain yogurt (optional, but traditional for creaminess and tenderizing). You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice.
2. Score your chosen protein (e.g., chicken pieces, paneer cubes, fish fillets) or prepare your vegetables (e.g., cauliflower florets, bell pepper chunks, onions).
3. Coat the protein/vegetables thoroughly with the tandoori marinade.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or preferably for several hours (or overnight for meat) to allow the flavors to penetrate deeply.
5. Cook as desired:

• Grill/BBQ: Thread onto skewers and grill over medium-hot coals or on a barbecue until cooked through and nicely charred.
• Oven: Bake in a preheated oven (around 200°C/400°F) until cooked through.
• Pan-Fry: Can also be pan-fried.
• Serve hot with naan, rice, salad, and mint chutney.
