Steenbergs Organic Tandoori Masala

Organic Tandoori Masala is Steenbergs blend for classic tandoori curries. It’s one of Britain’s favourite Indian meals. Steenbergs organic Tandoori Masala is hotter than supermarket-bought mixes and does not have that red colour, because we don’t use any colourings.

Traditionally cooked in a clay tandoor oven, which is used in India for baking flatbreads, tandoori is a hot and spicy dish that’s dry roasted. It should have a slightly sour flavour from a yoghurt marinade and a smokiness. You can get the smokiness if you cook on a barbecue.

The fusion of tandoori with British creamy tomato sauces resulted in the creation of Tikka Masala, the quintessential Anglo-Indian curry. We regularly use Tandoori Masala mixed with some coconut yoghurt to flavour tofu before roasting or frying it before adding these to a curry, whether a tofu tikka masala or a vegetable curry.

Steenbergs Organic Tandoori Mix has a pungent, but mild heat, curry flavour. Use it for grilled or baked meats: rub about 2 teaspoons of Tandoori Masala onto 500g of meat and dry marinate for one hour in the fridge before grilling or baking in the oven.

Why not use Tandoori Masala to flavour cubes of chicken or lamb then thread on a skewer and barbecue for a curry-style kebab? Steenbergs organic Tandoori Masala is one of Steenbergs’ authentic spice blends that only uses natural ingredients.
