The paste is built around a mix of aromatic spices, including coriander, cumin, black pepper, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, asafoetida, fenugreek, and chili, combined with tomato paste for body and tamarind paste for a tangy, fruit-derived note. Ghee, or clarified butter, is used as a cooking fat, giving the paste its characteristic richness, while red lentils help thicken the texture. This combination reflects a classic garam masala profile as used in South Asian cooking.
The paste is meant to be cooked, not eaten raw. It works as a starting base for a curry sauce, added after vegetables, meat, or tofu have been lightly fried, or as a marinade left to sit for a few hours or overnight before cooking.
Main ingredients:
- Spice blend (coriander, cumin, black pepper, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, asafoetida, fenugreek, chili) — the core aromatic base of the paste;
- Tomato paste — adds body and mild acidity to the sauce;
- Tamarind paste — contributes a tangy, fruit-derived note typical of South Asian cooking;
- Ghee — clarified butter used as a cooking fat;
- Red lentils — used to thicken the paste;
- Sunflower oil — the base oil of the paste.
Dosage and directions:
- Recommended use: approximately 1–2 tablespoons of paste per portion, according to taste and recipe;
- Directions for use: lightly fry vegetables and/or meat or tofu with onion and fresh ginger in ghee or another suitable fat, then add the Garam Masala Curry Paste and simmer until cooked; for a deeper flavour, the vegetables, meat, or tofu can be marinated in the paste for a few hours or overnight before cooking; the sauce can optionally be thickened with crème fraîche, cream cheese, or a coconut product and served with rice or another side.
