Curry Paste Mild A mild and satisfying blend is the ideal base for a deliciously authentic curry sauce. Curry is a somewhat confusing term with multiple meanings. It is a spice in its own right (curry leaves are used in Indian cooking and are sourced from the Koengli bush that is native to India). Curry powder is a widely available generic mix of Indian spices such as cumin and coriander – ironically, curry powder does not usually include curry leaves! A “curry” is also a common term for the stew-like dish at the center of most Indian meals (it would be accurate, for example, to refer to Chicken Tikka Masala as “a curry”). Deliciously tangy and robust, Patak's® signature Indian Curry Paste is a flavor-packed classic.
