Patak’s Showcases New Cooking Sauces in Sydney Launch

Anjali Pathak, granddaughter of L.G. Pathak (the founder of the universally known Indian food brand, Patak's) was in Sydney recently to introduce the company's new range of Coat + Cook coating sauces and talk about the direction of contemporary Indian cooking.

"Spice does not mean heat, it means flavour," said Pathak while she shared her concepts about how traditional Indian dishes can be prepared even by time-tight cooks.

The charming 26 year old who works for the company as the Culinary Development Controller said that Patak's had developed Coat + Cook as a range of quick and easy light coating sauces so that cooks could produce authentic meals in minutes.

Convenience and taste were the two main considerations in developing the new produce range which she said is the perfect coating for meat or vegetables.

The new range comes in four varieties including Spicy Mango, Tikka, Tandoori and Lime & Coriander.

The single use sachets which serve 3 – 4 people are filled with a unique blend of spices and after brushing on the selected ingredient can then be grilled, baked or barbecued, she said.

Pathak was confident that the new product range would not only be widely accepted by consumers wanting to effortlessly spice up their kitchen it would be widely available.

Patak's is recognised as the world's leading Indian food brand and is exported to over 40 countries around the world, she said.

Members attending the Sri Lankan Buffet Dinner at the Blue Elephant Restaurant on July 1 will take home a sample pack of Patak's new Cook + Coat Cooking Sauces.

WIN A TRIP TO INDIA!!!

Go straight to your diary and on the space for Monday 3rd December write, ‘TICCA Birthday Party at the Sydney Harbour Marriott, ICONS Brassiere, Level 2, 30 Pitt St, 6.30 for 7 PM’.

Who would have believed it? TICCA is about to observe its first birthday and to help us celebrate we are inviting you and your friends to a sensational event.

For the brave souls (because of the weather) who attended our last function at the Sydney Harbour Marriott read the 19th June report on our expanding website www.lovecurry.org. It was rated as one of the best functions of the year. And this one is going to be ever better!

But wait there is more ….
Through the tireless efforts of member Claire Oxlade and the more than generous support of QANTAS, Jet Airways, the Taj Group of Hotels, Incent Tours, the Government of India Tourism office and your committee we are able to offer a sensational VERY MAJOR door prize, a fantastic package tour to India including the international air fare.

Yes, a trip to India. Complete details will be published on our web site and will also be available on the night.

The Sydney Harbour Marriott is noted for the quality of food and service and not only will we enjoy a wonderful selection of the chef’s famous curries we will also have access to the restaurant’s sensational buffet. So it’s two buffets for the price of one!!!

By now you are thinking that all this will cost at least $100 per head. But no, for a mere $40 for members and $45 for guests you will enjoy a wonderful evening and great socialising plus be in the draw for the grand door prize as well many other prizes.

Do your sums! With say, 60 or 70 members and guests in attendance, what are the odds of you winning a trip worth many thousands of dollars?

To add even more value to the night and for those who enjoy wine we have again been offered an unlimited self-service wine bar for only another $20 per head.

As well, important announcements on our plans for TICCA’s second year will be issued on the night.

Book immediately so you won’t be disappointed. Remember, the more guests the better the night.
