Tikka Masala

Ingo Holland – Tikka Masala – Altes Gewürzamt

Ingo Holland's Tikka Masala is a spicy, brilliant spice blend for poultry, pork, lamb, and scampi. The main ingredients are tomatoes, roasted onions, ginger, coriander, pepper, cumin, nigella, paprika, garlic, turmeric, amchoor, cinnamon, allspice, chili, mace, cloves, fenugreek, mustard seeds, celery, and bay leaf. The Tikka Masala is adapted for European taste, light, fresh, with a short roasting time, but with a pleasant spiciness. Ingo Holland's tip: sear diced meat with chopped onions, generously sprinkle with Tikka Masala, serve with cold yogurt and bread.

Tikka Masala – Blends by Ingo Holland

A masala is a spice blend from Indian cuisine, which, translated from Hindi, means nothing more than "hot ingredient" or "spicy seasoning." However, Indian dishes such as Garam Masala, Tikka Masala, or Tandoori Masala are well-known to us, and thus Ingo Holland also named his Masala spice blends from Altes Gewürzamt. During the colonial period, the word Masala was first adopted into English and then into German usage.

Altes Gewürzamt – Spices without compromise

Ingo Holland wants to inspire cooking enthusiasts and stimulate creative ideas with his particularly intense spices from "Altes Gewürzamt". He makes no compromises when it comes to the quality of his ingredients, spices, peppers, herbs and salts. His spice blends, such as Tikka Masala, should be usable in many different ways, "that's why I'm reluctant to give specific usage instructions," says Ingo Holland in an interview with us. If you enjoy cooking and smelling the blends, you'll surely feel the same way we do, and ideas will come to mind about which dish or which ingredients this blend would taste particularly good with. The Tikka Masala best preserves its spicy aromas in the well-sealed, green Altes Gewürzamt spice tin.

Please use Altes Gewürzamt's Tikka Masala sparingly. As a former star chef, Ingo Holland places great emphasis on the high quality of his spices. This makes the spices particularly intense and very economical. Be brave and try it, but be careful: like all Ingo Holland Altes Gewürzamt spices, the Tikka Masala spice blend is intense, as it contains no anticaking agents, but consists exclusively of spices.
