Same product different packaging, or are these two distinct Pataks products?
-
No, ones a paste, to make your own marinade with, the other is a ready made marinade.
-
Ok thanks Martin.

In most Indian shops/supermarkets around the Black Country Midlands they are selling the marinade as the paste because they can't get a relaable supply/delivery.They taste different too.I use the paste,when I can get it as a spread on pork belly draft before putting in the oven to crisp,same thing with the marinade is certainly different.

Thanks Geoff
I managed to find a small jar in a local supermarket, although I now notice it says "tandoori curry paste" rather than just "tandoori paste" on the label. Hope I've got the right thing for blade's tikka!

You could read the instructions on the back of the jar SV
Probably do the job for blades beginners

Thanks chewy. I've also used the Laziza botti in the past and like it a lot, but availability is always a challenge. I was surprised enough to be able to find the Pataks paste locally and am circling back to blades recipe having tried many others.
I would in fact suggest a tikka group recipe test to see if we can reinvigorate the forum, but I know I wouldn't be able to take part as I can't get all the necessary ingredients.
Well anyway, feel free to check the instructions yourself, and in case the photo isn't clear (or something else prevents you reading it!) I'll summarise:
Blend half a jar with 70g yoghurt for 500g chicken. Leave to rest a few hours or overnight. Cook in oven 175C 20-25mins.
Anyway I suspect it's a watered down version of the tandoori paste as the ingredients are water, ginger paste and mixed spices. Pataks really need to sort out their product names to clearly differentiate them, as tandoori paste, tandoori marinade and tandoori curry paste all with identical label artwork are too similar for my tiny brain.
-
Totally agree SV, Pataks packaging is a joke and all over the place.
A quick look on their international sites the confusion just gets even worse.
At least what you have their IS a marinade ingredient.
It is the wrong colour but you can easily change that.
In the UK the catering size jars have the new label, but the product is the same as before.
So I don

Hi Guys
Chewy I was wondering if you had used this Pataks Madras Spice Paste? I know for your tikka recipe you like the Madras Kebab Paste which is only available in mahoosive catering size jars. I wondered if the flavour had any resemblance to the kebab paste or was a good enough substitute?
Cheers

just one interesting point. I know many people scoff at Pataks products as not being real Indian, but during the many times I have been to india, I have seen pataks in shops and on billboards all over india. I still think their cooking sauces are vile and not the best but I do use takka, balti and tandoori pastes when doing BIR although other products are good also.
Pataks pastes are quite a bit more expensive, is it worth the extra for pataks rather than the cheaper brands?
