The Mild Masala with the Most Beautiful Colour
Kashmiri Masala is the curry paste that surprises people. It looks intensely red and rich — that deep, jewel-like colour comes from authentic Kashmiri chillies — but the heat is gentle and approachable. It's the paste you reach for when you want maximum visual impact and depth of flavour without blowing anyone's head off.
This 2.2kg catering tub is the same format trusted by Indian restaurants, takeaways, and caterers across the UK. Ideal for fish, prawns, and chicken — the mild, aromatic spice profile works particularly well with seafood, letting the natural sweetness of prawns and fish shine through the sauce. Suitable for vegetarians. Gluten-free recipe. No artificial colours or flavours.

How to Use
Classic curry: Fry 2–3 tablespoons of paste with onions in oil until fragrant. Add your protein — chicken, fish fillets, or king prawns — and cook through. Stir in chopped tomatoes and a little water or stock, then simmer gently for 20 minutes. Finish with a swirl of cream or yoghurt for a rich, restaurant-style sauce.
With seafood: Kashmiri Masala is particularly well suited to fish and prawns. Add fish fillets or raw prawns in the final 5–8 minutes of cooking to avoid overcooking. Serve with basmati rice and naan.
As a marinade: Coat chicken pieces and leave for 2 hours before grilling or baking for a vibrant, spiced result.
