Description of El The Cook Malai Tikka Masala | 2 x 50g
Who it's for
Choose this masala when you want malai tikka at home without measuring separate spices for every batch. The powder works with chicken, paneer, fish, mushroom, and soya chaap, so one pack suits mixed households as well as vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus. The curd-based marinade method also keeps prep straightforward for cooks who want a quick route to creamy tikka.
When you'd use it
Make a fresh marinade by mixing the powder into hung curd, then cook the marinated pieces in a pan, oven, microwave, gas-top setup, or tandoor. That flexibility makes the masala useful for weeknight dinners, party starters, and kebab platters. Suggested uses include malai chicken, reshmi kebab, malai fish tikka, and paneer tikka, so the same blend can move across different dishes easily.
What makes it different
Look here if you want a ready masala with a cleaner ingredient profile. The blend is described as 100% natural, non-GMO, and gluten-free, with no preservatives, no MSG, and no added colours or flavours. Ingredients such as mace, clove, bay leaf, cardamom, cinnamon, fenugreek, black pepper, garlic, and ginger point to warm spice and aroma rather than a heavy, sweet coating.
Good to know
Store the masala carefully once opened if you plan to use it across multiple meals. One 50 g multi-use pack is meant to make 20 serves; keep the pack sealed, use a dry spoon, and refrigerate after opening. The pack can be used for 12 months from the date of manufacture, which is useful for small-batch home cooking instead of one large cookout.
