Tiparos Fish Sauce, 700ml

Originated in the kitchens of Thailand, Tiparos Fish Sauce is one of the most popular and quintessential ingredients in Asian cuisines trusted by Southeast Asian chefs. This 700ml bottle is aged anchovies fermented with sea salt that gives a savoury punch and take any dish from ordinary to extraordinary. Tiparos is a popular ingredient in Thai, Vietnamese, and Filipino cuisine and it has started entering Indian kitchens as well, and rightfully so.

What Makes It Special?

Tiparos Fish Sauce is prepared through a slow natural fermentation process, which releases the deep umami flavour from fish proteins. The fermenting process delivers clear, yellowish-brown liquid with distinctive, savoury, salty, and slightly sweet flavour that merge with a dish while enhancing the flavour of other ingredients around it. The liquid is also an excellent source of naturally occurring amino acids, also known as glutamates found in protein-rich food, making it a natural way to add umami punch to your dishes.

Flavour Profile
Stronger in flavour than most seasonings, boldy salty, exceptionally savory, and rich in umami, with a hint of oceanic undertone that mellows beautifully during cooking, while acting as a flavourful foundation without overpowering the taste of spices.

How to Use It in Indian Cooking

Fish sauce is a wonderful complement to Indian cuisine. These are a few ways you can incorporate it into your daily cooking:

• Replace Salt in Curries: Add a little Tiparos to fish, prawn, or chicken curries instead of salt. It flavours the dish nicely and provides savoury depth.
• Coastal Seafood Dishes: A teaspoon of this to Goan fish curry, Kerala prawn masala, or Bengali maacher jhol will lend an authentic oceanic richness.
• Stir-Fried Vegetables: Pour or sprinkle the sauce over stir-fried cabbage, mushroom, or French beans for a very satisfying Indo-Asian fusion.
• Chutneys & Dips: Mix the sauce with green chilli, garlic, and lime juice along with a dash of jaggery for a perfect balance of spicy, sour, savoury, and sweet taste to enjoy with kebabs and pakoras.
• Marinades: Coat chicken or fish by combining Tiparos with garlic, ginger, and turmeric before grilling or pan-frying. The result is amazing taste.

Pro Tip: Start by adding a small amount (1/2 teaspoon). You can add more later for strong flavour. Don’t use the sauce as a condiment. Instead, add it during cooking for a softer, deeply savoury umami.

Storage: Keep out of direct sunlight in a cool, dry area. After opening, refrigerate it for longer shelf life.
