Sabita Tikka Masala Paste
What it is
Sabita Tikka Masala Paste is a pre-made blend of aromatic spices, herbs, and other ingredients designed to create the classic Indian dish, Tikka Masala. It typically contains ingredients like tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, and a complex mix of ground spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. This paste offers a convenient way to achieve authentic flavor without measuring individual spices. It provides a rich, savory, and slightly tangy base for various culinary creations.

To use Sabita Tikka Masala Paste, simply sauté it with a bit of oil or butter in a pan until fragrant. Then, add your main ingredients, such as chicken, paneer, or vegetables, and cook them through.
