Pataks Rogan Josh Spice Paste – 283g

Patak’s Rogan Josh Spice Paste – 283g is a concentrated curry base designed around a traditional blend of aromatic spices including paprika, coriander, cumin, fennel, turmeric, and cloves, combined with garlic, tamarind, and oil to create a thick, flavour-rich paste. The spice profile is carefully balanced to deliver warmth and depth rather than sharp heat, with fennel and cloves adding a subtle sweet-spiced aroma while paprika and coriander build a savoury foundation. When fried in oil, the paste releases an intense fragrance that forms the base of a slow-simmered Rogan Josh sauce with a deep red colour and layered spice complexity.

As it cooks, the paste develops a rounded, gently spiced gravy that clings well to meat and vegetables, allowing flavours to penetrate over time. It is designed for a traditional cooking method where the paste is first “bloomed” in hot oil, then combined with onions, tomatoes, and liquid to build a thick, slow-cooked curry with consistent depth from start to finish.

Patak’s Rogan Josh Spice Paste – 283g fits naturally into everyday home cooking. It works especially well in lamb Rogan Josh where slow cooking produces tender meat and a rich, aromatic sauce, in chicken curry where it delivers bold colour and warming spice without overpowering heat, or in vegetable curries such as potato and cauliflower where it adds deep savoury structure. It also works well as a base for marinades, giving proteins a strong spice foundation before grilling or roasting.
