How To Make Tandoori Masala Paste

Ingredients

• 1/2 batch (9 tbsp) tandoori masala powder
• 80ml (1/3 cup) water
• 80ml rapeseed (canola) oil
• 1 large teaspoon tamarind paste (optional)

Steps

1. Slowly pour about 80ml (1/3 cup) water into the tandoori masala powder to form a thick paste. Add a little more water if needed.
2. Heat the paste over medium high heat and add 80ml (1/3 cup) rapeseed (canola) oil while stirring continuously. Allow to sizzle for about 30 seconds to ensure it is all nicely combined.
3. Turn off the heat and stir in the tamarind paste, if using.
4. Store in a very clean preserving jar in the fridge or cool cupboard and use as needed.
