Have Pataks discontinued their Tandoori paste?Have tried all major supermarkets and Indian owned stores too.Have been offered Pataks tandoori spice marinade by the ton.Consistency is different,too.
Cheers. Geoff
They've changed the label and they call it Tandoori Spice Marinade now. I have a jar in the fridge. I haven't directly compared the ingredients, but it looks and tastes the same as the old stuff.
I went to buy a jar a few months ago and noticed this. It seemed a lot sloppier than the paste so I didn't get it. Be interested (or even intresting) to know if its one and the same.
This link is from their web site.

It's listed under pastes but the jar says Tandoori spice marinade. when I last went to buy some the shop had Pasco's pastes on offer 3 jars for 2.99 so that what I got.
London.
I wonder if the catering size jars have changed as well ???
The plot thickens...

Easy solved
Use Laziza (http://www.spicesofindia.co.uk/acatalog/Laziza-Tandoori-Paste.html), way better
Doesnt cost that though in local shops
Ok my local stocks this, will try it.
Thanks :-)

Thanks Graeme; but I didn't start this thread :)
I've got new jars
Like NAGA said, the same marinade with a new label. Smooth and well processed.
BIR standard ingredient for over 30 years, Pataks are not going to change their recipe!
The catering jars are exactly the same product, but tend to have a good layer of oil on top.
I top up most of my marinade paste jars with veg oil, if they go too dry. (especially Kashmiri)
Crown Farms is a good Take Away brand and similar to Pataks plus cheaper.
Laziza is good, spicy and strong, but isn't processed enough, gritty and full of ginger fibre hairs
Tandoori with hairs on it, not customer friendly. lol
Further to my thread and previous of2014',local store say they haven't received delivery oftandoori paste again,and assume they are not now available.They suggested Laziza or use tandoori masala powder mixed with yogurt and ginger paste with a little oil.Will give it a try!!

They've changed their lime pickle recipe three times in as many decades so I don't think you can assume the tandoori paste will be the same as it ever was.
