Tomato puree on its own is too strong and thick to use in BIR cooking, conversely tinned tomatoes are a little too weak and not also suited as they don’t cook down quickly enough. When tomato paste is called for in a BIR recipe it is usually a cooked combination of both tomato puree and tinned tomatoes, this gives a great tasting tomato base to curries and speeds up the cooking process. Our BIR tomato paste does just that and is perfect for any aspiring BIR chef.

Better than diluted puree!

I used to use simple watered down tomato puree, but this gives a better result.

Tomato Paste

So simple to use, straight out of the pouch, and definitely a massive step up in the taste of the finished curry dish as compared to using pasata.
Highly recommend.
