Hi there, I wondered if anyone would be able to help me locate Patak's Madras Kebab Paste. It seems to only come in 2.4 KG tubs i.e. catering size, and not at all in supermarket sizes.
I may have this wrong but one of the posts on the forum from about 4 months ago seemed to indicate that Patak's Madras Paste was the same thing but in the supermarket version.
I got in touch with Patak's customer services who seemed to be saying they were indeed different. They even gave me a list of retailers. None of which that I can find do actually stock it.
Do wiser minds here know different? I'd be grateful for an opinion on its availability "in the wild"!.
Thanks

I believe them to be (very) different, and I believe that the kebab paste comes only in large catering size.

Yes, catering size only, you can get it at any asian store that supplies the trade.
or search Tesco online.
Check my Tikka recipe here, for more info.

Thanks, I looked on Tesco's online, no joy. The only other online retailer was Amazon.co.uk, or Makro (collect only).
Not sure where to look, I'm in Wolverhampton.
thanks

Crikey, I'm amazed you don't fall over it when you go out of the door. Wolverhampton has oodles of Asian shops; I wouldn't even think of Amazon (unless they are offering free delivery), just go out and explore.

And there is a newish one opened right opposite "Rock Zombie" club on Kings Street Dudley.
Don't forget to try the little asian shops local to you as well, i did and found Mr. Naga chilli 2 GBP and Asian Bay Leaves 1 GBP absolute bargain in my eyes.
Where in Wolvo' are you?
-
Yeah I'm on the Penn Road on the way out of Wolverhampton. I'm working my way down the shops on the Dudley Road.
The main one I tried had just had in a Pataks Achari paste they reckoned was good, but had never heard of the Kebab paste.
I'll carry on looking though.
Thanks all!

Thanks for that Phil will try and get there tomorrow morning.

That is better than affordable.

Chatting with the guys in Jai Kathmandu, Northenden M/cr last Friday and we got to talking about their chutneys & pickles - seems they blend their own from large tubs - and tasty / hot they are too. I mentioned I find Pataks lime pickle very good - they laughed and said Patak himself eats here often & is always trying to nick their recipes. When they described him, I have often seen the guy there - skinny asian, usually dark blue suit - drives a Roller. Never realised it was Patak.

I agree, but the best lime pickle I ever tried was Chinthe Burmese lime pickle (should one now say "Myanmarese" ?!). Sadly Chinthe ceased production, and nothing I have tried since has equalled it.

Well after visiting 6 different Poundland shops localish to me, one manager told me to phone the Customer Service, so i did this morning and it was a mistake, a discontinued item, it shouldn't have been put up on the website.

Sorry to learn that, UF, and sorry for sending you on a fool's errand.

Glad i didn't go to Redhill to try and buy them, they were advertising 2.4kg of Tikka Paste as well, slip up or crowd puller hmmm i wonder.

I can't recall which ones it was but I know that one pound shop does the tikka masala paste and another does the tandoori masala paste. Only in tiny jars though ... the shrinkflation variety. Certainly Home Bargains has one or the other though.
