Kitchens of India Paste, Tikka Masala, 3.5-Ounces (Pack of 6)

I recently tried Kitchens of India Paste for Tikka Masala, and I am beyond impressed! This paste delivers a perfectly balanced flavor profile—rich, aromatic, and full of authentic Indian spices, without being overwhelmingly hot. It has just the right amount of spice to satisfy your taste buds while still letting all the deep, complex flavors shine through. The texture is smooth and blends effortlessly with cream or yogurt, making it easy to create a restaurant-quality meal in minutes. Whether you're a seasoned home cook or just getting into Indian cuisine, this paste makes it foolproof to create a mouthwatering Tikka Masala that tastes like it came from a professional kitchen. Highly recommend for anyone who loves bold, flavorful dishes without the burn. This one's a staple in my pantry now!

I love Kichens of India Tikka Masala Paste. I can make my own paneer and then use this paste along with my choice of vegetables. I could never achieve the right blend of spices on my own. These packets have the perfect flavor. They are slightly spicy, which I like, but is a bit too hot for my spouse. Adding some cream cools down the heat level. Each packet makes about 4-5 servings depending on the amount of veggies and protein you add.

Our family LOVES Tikka Masala. Even my 5 and 7 year olds love it (only with naan though). This stuff is hot. Usually, we like Butter Chicken as well but that paste from Kitchens of India is even hotter than this stuff so we go with this. We have a variety of spicy lovers here at our home so we keep a jug of cream on the table when we serve this and those who like it less spicy add more cream. We don't follow directions and do milk instead of water for the recipe and add cream at the table to get to desired spiciness. I was reading and saw the chick pea idea which I like better than the cream idea since that seems a bit more healthy. Maybe we'll keep pureed chick peas at the table from now on instead of cream? Love this stuff though. We have it with naan at our house about every 2 weeks. With 8 of us, we usually make 3 or 4 packs at a time so we'd love for bigger packets to be available or have packs of 20+ available but bigger packs would be better to help save the environment a bit of trash. Our family lived overseas for quite a while so we look for easy ways to eat our favorite international cuisines. This is, by far, our favorite tikka masala flavor. Thanks for selling here Kitchens of India and thanks for keeping in stock!

If you're expecting tikka masala like is found in most Indian restaurants in the US (at least in this part of it), you'll be disappointed. It's tasty enough, but quite similar to the same company's butter chicken paste (which is better in flavor than this one and not quite so divergent from expectations). It's easy to use, tastes pretty good, and when prepared in an Instant Pot makes for a decent, quick midweek supper, though.

This is soooo good, though a bit spicy. It was 2 peppers out of 5 so I hate to think what 5 would be like. However it was not cumulative and in fact lessened as I ate it... We added pork and potatoes and it was delicious over rice...yum. Well worth it for an adventure in eating.
