How To Make Pataks Chicken Tikka Masala Sauce? A Step-by-Step Guide
Now, we are all set for Patak’s creamy Indian curry sauce recipe. Let’s go!
Step 1
First, sauté the aromatics. Take a non-stick saucepan and heat the rapeseed oil over a medium heat. Add the chopped onions and stir them until they become translucent. Then stir in some garlic and ginger paste and let it cook for 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add tomato paste to the saucepan and stir everything to combine. Let it cook for 3 to 4 minutes so that the acidity reduces. It will look like a creamy tomato curry.
Step 3
Now it’s time to add all the spices. Add ground cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, and dried fenugreek leaves. Cook everything well to toast all the spices.
Step 4
Next, lower the heat because we are now going to add yogurt. Or else it will curdle. Put in yoghurt and single cream gradually. Then add water to get your desired consistency.
Step 5
Add sugar as instructed and salt as per your taste. You can also increase or decrease the quantity of sugar if you want more or less sweetness.
Step 6
After cooking, put the mixture in an immersion blender. Blend everything and make a puree out of it. If needed, blend again until you get a smooth texture.
Special Tips
Here are some tips that can enhance the taste of your Indian curry simmer sauce.
- While adding dairy to the saucepan, don’t add it at once; add it gradually. Thus, there will be no curdling.
- If you want extra richness, use ghee instead of rapeseed oil.
- If you are lactose-intolerant or want a dairy-free alternative, use coconut cream instead of the single cream.
