KEY INGREDIENTS
WHY WE LOVE IT

Non-Gmo Ghee

Fall in love with clarified butter from grass-fed cows in California.

Cumin Seed

Sourced from India, this spice is slightly sweet with a warm, nutty flavor and beautiful aroma.

Chili Flakes

These are vibrant in color with a mild, assertive heat and clean chile flavor.

CURRY LEAF

The sister plant to the bay leaf, but unlike the bay leaf, the curry leaf is fully edible! It’s hand-sifted in our Tarka so it retains the most flavor in your final dish.

HOW TO COOK?

1
Stir the contents of the Tarka jar so the spices and ghee are mixed together.

You’ll know when the Tarka is done by the look, smell and sound of the sizzle. Remember, you can also enjoy your Tarka at room temperature!

paro TIP

Drizzle a spoonful on your Paro Daal or Paro Kitchari - it also pairs well with pasta, eggs, toast, pizza - any savory dish of your choice

    Obsessed.

    Our new favorite shortcut for delicious subzi! (Check out the braised cabbage below) We’ve tried it so many dishes and it’s a hit every time — easy and versatile. We recently included Tarka and Kitchari in gift baskets for a SABA Oregon (sabaor.org) and the attendees were thrilled. Will keep spreading the word on your wonderful products!

    Addicted

    I add this to literally everything — truly such a staple in my kitchen. Exact pop of flavor, spice, and consistency that makes everything perfect. In fact, just added to my Caesar salad wrap earlier today and predictably was amazing.

    A flavorful & versatile pantry staple!

    I've been using Paro's Tarka for the past few months, and it's delicious. I find myself reaching for it to liven up leftovers (kichri, daal, sabzi, keema etc) and as a flavor enhancer for pasta and fried eggs. Even just a little dollop adds amazing flavor to your dish without being overpowering. I especially love the notes of garlic, curry leaf, and red chili. I will be gifting this to the foodies in my life!

    Tarka is a great idea and an amazing product!!

    I use it to add an extra zing or "jhatka" as we say it to all of the Indian curries that I make at home including chole, dal makhani, chana or any other dal, and even bhaji/pav. Warming up the pav bread on simmering dal tadka makes a real tasty masala pav out of it!! Since I am a lone person, most of the time I consume ready to make phulkas and processed curries to which I add your tadka for added taste. I even spread it on the phulkas once they are ready to eat to add an extra layer of taste along with using the ghee in it to keep the phulkas soft. Adding it to steamed rice or fried rice/pulao makes it a lot better. Thank you for thinking up this concept and making this product.
