Advantages: Make tasty and hot curry

Disadvantages: Hot for those who cannot take the heat

Patak have been around since 1957 and it is internationally renowned for their range of curry paste,curry sauce, chutney and pickles.

My favourite Patak curry paste is the Madras curry paste. Note that there is a difference between the paste and sauce. The madras curry sauce is a ready made up curry. I have tried the curry sauce but I still prefer the paste version. With the paste, I can prepare the curry sauce according to my requirement like the heat level and flavour.

The Patak's madras curry paste is hotter than most curry paste. It goes very well with most type of meat, especially pork. The spices in the paste brings out the pork flavour and tanginess in the curry.

One useful tip when using the paste is to fry the paste with onions for about 4minutes on low heat. This will help to release the flavour of the curry paste.

Patak's madras curry paste can also be used as a marinade. It comes in a glass jar and each contain 283g.
