Description

Master the art of authentic Indian rice dishes with Patak’s Biryani Spice Paste. Created through generations of traditional spice blending expertise since 1958, this concentrated paste combines 11 whole and ground aromatic spices—including coriander, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, and whole aromatics—preserved in vegetable oil to seal in authentic fragrance and robust flavor.

Frying the paste gently unlocks the volatile oils of the spices, providing the savory, fragrant foundation needed to layer with fragrant basmati rice, caramelized onions, fresh coriander, and tender meats or vegetables.

Key Culinary Uses & Serving Inspiration:

• Layered Chicken or Lamb Biryani: Sauté sliced onions and paste, brown marinated chicken pieces or diced lamb shoulder, and layer with parboiled basmati rice, saffron milk, and fresh mint before slow-steaming (dum cooking).

• Vegetable & Paneer Biryani: Toss cubed paneer, green peas, cauliflower florets, and carrots with the paste before simmering and layering with spiced basmati rice.

• Aromatic Pulao & Rice Dishes: Stir a tablespoon into basmati rice with toasted cashews and sultanas for an aromatic pilaf side dish.

• Rich Yogurt Marinades: Whisk with plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and crushed garlic to marinate chicken thighs, lamb cutlets, or king prawns before baking or grilling.

• One-Pot Traybakes: Coat chicken drumsticks and baby potatoes in the paste and bake for a fragrant, spiced traybake dinner.
