Love this mix. My son thinks it is far better than the sauces available in jars but in what medium should these spices be mixed to make a tikka Masala paste?

Hey David, so glad to hear your son loves the mix! To make a Tikka Masala paste, you could blend the spices with plant-based yogurt and a bit of oil. This will dilute the flavours though. Let us know how it goes if you experiment with it. We also have recipes for Quick Tofu Tikka Masala and Tikka Masala Cauliflower Pitas where we've used the spice mix 🙂

A really nice mix ,it was a success with fussy hubby although I did reduce the chilli powder to 1/2 tsp which made it mild, just how we like it

This is a very nice warm spice that is new to me and I’m digging it. I love how you guys break it down to be able to make our owns spices, it’s so much easier.
I was wondering if you guys can give the recipe to make the Garam Masala Spice Mix. I seen the article with the spices but I didn’t see where it gave the measurements or ratios…you think you can help with that?

Thanks!

Aw we're so happy to hear, Honey, thank you! We've noted down the request for a Garam Masala Spice Mix recipe 😎

This is my favorite tikka masala recipe. I have to make it in big batches as I use it often and gift it to friends and family.

Great spice blend! I made it to try out your tofu tikka madala recipe and I wasn't disappointed. Side note: there's something incredibly therapeutic in preparing home-made spice blends 😌

So thrilled to hear, Martunia! Homemade spice blends are one of our favourites 🤩

Is chili power the powdered chili with heat or the American style spice mix?

Tikka Masala Spice Mix (23)PUL Team - Feb. 19, 2023, 1:19 a.m.

A lovely question, Scott! We use a generic chili powder from our local grocery store in the Netherlands which doesn't specify anything else. If you're in North America, it's likely the chili powder is more mild, so you can stand to use more. If you're in the EU, perhaps add less to start and add more to taste when cooking to help avoid too much spice 😃

Betsy L - May 29, 2023, 6:55 p.m.

Hello there! I’m an American living in the Netherlands, and I thought I could clear up this question :) there is definitely a difference between the American version of “chili powder” and the one specified here. The American version is a spice mix used often in Tex Mex dishes and American style chili. The one available in the Netherlands is a pure, single-ingredient chili powder (not a mix), so for Americans this would be more like cayenne pepper powder!

Thanks for the Tikka Masala Spice Mix recipe. One question, Sadia. When you say "chili powder," can I assume you mean Indian chili powder (e.g., Kashmiri chili powder) that is pure red chilis? I live in the US where "chili powder" is usually a milder blend of chilis and other spices.

Hey Colleen, we use a generic chili powder from our local grocery store in the Netherlands, it doesn't specify anything else. If you're in North America, it's likely the chili powder is more mild, so you can use more if you enjoy an extra kick. You could also opt to add it during cooking to taste if needed 🙂

How many teaspoons per curry for 4

Tikka Masala Spice Mix (25)PUL Team - Feb. 9, 2023, 11:14 p.m.

Hey Wendy, we enjoy just over 2 tablespoons of the spice mix in our Quick Tofu Tikka Masala recipe for four servings: pickuplimes.com/recipe/quick-… 🙂

Makes "curry nights" so much more speedy in our home! Just scoop and done, love that i don't have to fuss with finding all the different spice jars.

Hi. I cannot fing fenugreek in my local grocery store. Is it necessary in this spice mix or can it be omitted? Thanks a lot. Anna

Tikka Masala Spice Mix (26)PUL Team - Nov. 20, 2022, 8:02 p.m.

Hey, Anna, you can omit them if needed. In case it helps, we've had better luck finding dried fenugreek leaves in the international aisle or in ethnic grocery stores. An alternative dried leaf such as celery also provides a similar savoury and nutty flavour 🤗

Colleen Kennealy - Feb. 18, 2023, 3:22 a.m.

Anna, you can also find dried fenugreek leaves on Amazon.com. They have quite a variety--big bags, small jars, etc.

Such a handy spice mix! I've been adding it to curries and it's perfect. It beats measuring out spices one at a time when I'm tired and just want food in my belly as quick as possible 😂
