Patak's Original Madras Curry Paste Reviews

Took a fancying for a curry tonight and as I am trying to save the pennies, decided to go to the supermarket and get a jar rather than order one in. The options at Sainsburys Local were pretty slim so came home with this. It is easy enough to make, simply cook some of the paste in oil to cook the spices, add vegtables (or meat if you ...  Read the complete review

Me & my hubby have a regular curry using this paste we also have a biryani and absolutely loveit. However noticed recently the packaging has changed also used it last night and the paste is a different colour (much lighter)& texture (smoother). It definately tasted different I found it to be much milder than usual, wonder if anyone else thinks the same

Some people when making a curry at home will simply buy a jar of sauce and stir it in, well I like to go one step further and buy a paste this then allows me to get the strength and taste of my curry exactly how I like it. The paste most commonly used in my house is Pataks Madras curry paste because me and hubby both love the taste of ...  Read the complete review

I can't think of many British people who do not like curry. Our national dish of fish & chips has certainly lost its identity over the last decade - and I'm all for it! Yes, fish may contain a lot of Omega 3 and is good for you, but curries just taste nicer - and there is so much more variety! Korma, Balti, Vindaloo...no matter what your taste ...  Read the complete review

I am a big curry fan, and love amking my own if I have time but sometimes you dont have all the spices and ingreidents. I thought I would try this paste rather than a sauce as it sounded more authentic and looked like it would last longer than an already made sauce.\ I simply use this by spooning a small amount onto chicken, and let it ...  Read the complete review

I love making curries. Our local take away does some delicious ones and you can get some pretty good ready made sauces in the supermarkets, but making them from a paste is a lot cheaper. I would love to be able to make them from complete scratch but don't have the knowledge of the the spices needed so these pastes are a good little cheat. ...  Read the complete review

I would never have normally bought this but someone get me a jar when they had bought one by mistake (don't ask - I know some strange people!) I kept it in the cupboard for ages thinking it wasn't my kind of thing. I prefer to cook with fresh ingredients generally. But then one day we really fancied a curry and thought we should use this rather ...  Read the complete review

For those of you who don't know (probably all of you to be honest), I absolutely adore curry. I don't care if it's spicy or sweet, fruity or meaty, as long as it tastes good and comes with some good rice and naan bread I'd do almost anything for it. Takeaways from an Indian restaurant not far from home used to be one of my favourite meals, but now ...  Read the complete review

Patak's make a huge range of Indian foods and accoutrements, notably the famous curry pastes and I've used them since I left home and started cooking for myself aged 16. Previous to that I've been brought up on a combination of Patak's and more traditional methods of currying. The colour in the jar is deep and rich, this as a madras is ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I'm a big fan of curry and in fact over the years I have spent a lot of time making my own and I do like to use all the proper ingredients. This does take a lot of time and experimentation, but if you love cooking as much I do then you know that the trail and error part is just as much fun as getting it right. Many years ago someone ...  Read the complete review

pataks madras curry paste is lovely, it is a paste not a sauce so it will go a lot further and last a lot longer and dont worry you wont have to live on curry for a week after you open it as it can be stored in a fridge for many months or frozen for upto 12 months. I use this when making our saturday night tea, firstly i use the paste ...  Read the complete review

One of the staples of our week-day cuisine is Patak's Madras Curry Paste. It is not something that I would ever have decided on a whim to buy, but luckily a friend introduced it to me. I hope to introduce it to you. It is well worth buying if you like tasty home-made curry with a minimum of work. Patak's Madras Curry Paste is ...  Read the complete review

I'm writing this whilst I wait for my dinner to finish cooking. Tonight, Matthew, I'm having a vegetable curry knocked up with the rather delicious Patak's Madras curry paste. Being vegan, "ready meals" are not really in my vocabulary. Sure, there's one or two available, but the rare ones that exist taste like ...  Read the complete review

I’ve tried several of the Pataks pastes, and I can well believe the various claims regarding the authenticity of Patak’s curry products. In the mid 50’s LG Patakh came to Britain, from Kenya in fact, not from India, and opened up a samosa shop. He even used to supply Buckingham Palace with them. He later dropped the ...  Read the complete review
