Leicester_H Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hi Was going to make a simple rice salad using leftovers, by simply stirring in some https://www.pataks.co.uk/products/spice-pastes/korma-paste but jar says it MUST be cooked. I've looked at the ingredients and don't understand WHY ? Are they just 'covering' themselves ? Any ideas ? H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 My guess is the onion powder. From unfortunate experience, I know that products with onion powder taste awful if not cooked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning to flavour a mayo/yogurt mix with the paste - so it would be quite dilute. I'll probably give it a try and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I use it in Coronation Chicken without cooking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - I thought,maybe there was something like the toxin in kidney bean skins that needed to be killed by cooking - but I couldn't identify any dubious ingredients.

Patricia W Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Probably more about getting the intensity of flavour from cooking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
