Pasanda Spice Blend. Indian Spices

Product Information

It is a triumph of a dish, creamy with a tart edgefrom the yoghurt but fragrant with spices and just a little heat. Tikka – as popular as korma and pasanda curry, this recipe uses larger chunks of meat traditionally marinated in spices and yogurt overnight, then roasted in an Indian “tandoor” oven the following day. Add the coriander seeds and peppercorns to a pestle and mortar and crush the seeds. Then put them into a large bowl to mix the marinade in. The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post My lamb pasanda is also, surprisingly, suitable for the Slimming World plan if you use low fat yogurt and omit the cream. The ground almonds do add a few syns but can be part of your healthy extras 🙂

It may not work each time but from my personal experience of using substitutes, I can guarantee that it will not be catastrophic as long as you have the right balance of taste and correct amount used. When you use fresh ingredients, you are likely to use them less in quantity in the dish to balance the required taste. 3. The quantity you are cooking If your chosen substitute is stronger to the actual spice then you will need to use that in less quantity while a spice with subtle taste may need larger quantities to be added. This Paneer Pasanda recipe is low on heat and that’s how the dish is made. But if you prefer more heat, use more green chilies along with onions. Puree the chilies as well with the brown onions.

Not all spices can be substituted with another spice. In this case using the fresh alternative is a better option. This is not just another orange gravy with paneer that we always eat!
