Introduction
The Patia Curry Pack creates a light sauce that favours fish which is why this is our go-to Curry Pack for fish curries.
Add whatever fish you fancy! We recommend prawns, cod, haddock or hake. In Rafi’s ‘Great Indian Dishes’ cookbook, she makes a version of the Patia with prawns. Seafood is eaten in abundance on the west coast of India, making prawns the perfect ingredient for this Parsi dish.
