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.
  • Healthier than butter
  • Contains butyrate, a fatty acid
    with anti-inflammatory properties
  • Healthy alternative for lactose
    products
  • High concentration Omega-3s

HOW TO COOK?

1
Stir the contents of the Tarka jar so the spices and ghee are mixed together.
2
Heat one tablespoon on the stove until it sizzles or zap it in the microwave for 10-12 seconds.
3
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

MORE on TARKA

Tarka. Also known as tadka, chaunk, baghaar. We've grown up watching our moms make fresh tarka. It's traditionally made by tempering spices in ghee.

We've taken our favorite taste and bottled it up by cooking a blend of spices in hot ghee and grapeseed oil.

    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!

    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.

    WHAT is this magic?!

    Never knew I needed this in my life, on my eggs, on my grains, and really anything and everything I eat. I love heating the oil up in a frying pan just until it starts to smoke and the spices sizzle for a little bit, it takes the product to another level....I can't tell you enough how magical this tarka oil is! We're on our 2nd bottle and we need to re-order soon. Rather than changing the flavor of your dishes like many Chinese chili crisps tend to do, the tarka oil enhances whatever you add it to with a kick and a whole dimension of flavor I can't get enough of. Hurry up and get it!
