Pataks Mild Curry Paste – 283g

Patak’s Mild Curry Paste – 283g is a blended cooking paste made from a base of water, rapeseed oil, and a carefully measured mix of ground spices including coriander, paprika, turmeric, cumin, fenugreek, fennel, and cinnamon, along with garlic and mustard powder.

The flavour profile is deliberately mild and aromatic rather than hot, with coriander and cumin providing earthy depth, turmeric adding warmth and colour, and paprika giving a soft sweetness. Fenugreek and fennel contribute a subtle bitterness and anise-like undertone that develops during cooking. The paste is designed to be fried in oil at the start of cooking, which releases its full aromatic base and builds a layered curry foundation before adding meat, vegetables, or coconut milk.

Unlike dry curry powders, this paste includes oil and tamarind, which helps it form a richer, thicker sauce more quickly and gives a more “ready-made curry house” style texture when simmered.

Patak’s Mild Curry Paste – 283g fits into fast, practical cooking workflows:

• Fry with onions to build an instant curry base
• Add chicken, lamb, or vegetables and simmer into a mild curry
• Mix with coconut milk for a creamy, balanced sauce
• Use as a marinade base for grilling or roasting

It’s essentially a convenience format: consistent spice balance, low heat, and quick sauce development without needing individual spices.
