It’s the perfect base for creating deeply flavorful curries that pack a delightful punch.

 Understanding Madras Curry.
Originating from the city of Madras (now Chennai) in South India, Madras curry is characterized by its generous use of chillies, a distinct tanginess (often from tamarind), and a complex blend of spices that typically includes coriander, cumin, turmeric, fenugreek, and mustard seeds.

• Authentic Hot & Tangy Flavor: Patak’s Madras Paste is carefully balanced to deliver a genuine Madras curry taste that is robustly spicy, tangy, and deeply aromatic.
• Rich Blend of Spices & Chillies: Features a classic mix of ground spices, with a prominent chilli content for significant heat, complemented by the sourness of tamarind and the earthiness of other traditional spices.
• Versatile for Various Proteins & Vegetables: While excellent for Chicken Madras or Lamb Madras, this paste also creates wonderfully spicy and flavorful curries with beef, fish, prawns, or a medley of vegetables.
• Builds a Deeply Flavored Base: Provides a concentrated flavor foundation, allowing you to create restaurant-quality Madras curry at home with ease.
• Convenient & Time-Saving: This ready-to-use paste significantly reduces preparation time, eliminating the need to source, toast, and grind numerous individual spices.
• Trusted Patak’s Quality: Patak’s has a rich heritage in producing authentic Indian pastes, pickles, and sauces, trusted by cooks around the world for consistent quality and taste.

 How to Use Patak’s Madras Curry Paste.

Patak’s jars typically provide recipe suggestions. A general guide is below.
