Pataks Korma Spice Paste – 290g

Patak’s Korma Spice Paste – 290g is a ready-to-use curry base built around a mild blend of aromatic spices combined with coconut, tomato, garlic, ginger, and warming spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and fennel. The paste has a thick, silky texture that melts into oil when fried, releasing a gentle, fragrant aroma that forms the foundation of a creamy, well-balanced korma sauce. Its flavour profile is intentionally mild, focusing on smooth spice rather than heat, making it suitable for dishes where richness and fragrance are more important than intensity.

When cooked, the paste develops a rounded, slightly sweet spice base with a creamy coconut undertone that softens into sauces without overpowering the main ingredients. It works by first blooming in oil, where the spices open up and deepen, then blending with liquid ingredients like coconut milk or cream to create a velvety curry sauce with consistent flavour throughout.

Patak’s Korma Spice Paste – 290g fits naturally into everyday home cooking. It works especially well in chicken korma where tender chicken absorbs the mild, creamy sauce, in lamb korma where slow cooking builds richness and depth, or in vegetable korma where potatoes, peas, and cauliflower take on the aromatic coconut-spice base. It also works well as a marinade starter for oven-baked dishes where a gentle spice coating is desired before roasting.
