What Is the Difference Between Tomato Puree, Tomato Paste, and Passata?

These three tomato products are all made from cooked, strained tomatoes — but they differ in concentration and texture:

  • Tomato puree — cooked and blended tomatoes, thin to medium consistency, about 8–12% tomato solids. Used as a cooking base for curries, gravies, and soups.
  • Tomato paste — concentrated cooked tomatoes with a thick, rich consistency and approximately 25–38% tomato solids. Used in small amounts to intensify flavour.
  • Passata — strained raw or lightly cooked crushed tomatoes with a smooth, sauce-like texture. Common in Italian cooking and increasingly used in Indian-inspired dishes.

When you shop for tomato puree online at Velspices, you'll find options across all three styles to suit different recipes and cooking preferences.

How Is Tomato Puree Used in Indian Cooking?

Tomato puree is one of the most widely used base ingredients across Indian cuisine. It provides the colour, acidity, and body that define classic Indian gravies. Here's how South Asian cooks use it:

  • Curry base — blended with onion, ginger, garlic, and spices to create a rich, flavoursome gravy for paneer, chicken, lamb, or vegetables
  • Dal tadka and dal makhani — tomato puree adds body and a slight tang to lentil dishes
  • Butter chicken and tikka masala — tomato puree forms the backbone of these iconic dishes alongside cream and aromatics
  • Sabzi (vegetable curries) — tomato puree enriches the gravy for potato, cauliflower, spinach, and other vegetable dishes
  • Chutney and achaar bases — reduced tomato puree is used in cooked chutneys and sauces

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy tomato puree online in Australia?

Velspices stocks tomato puree, tomato paste, and passata online at velspices.com.au. We deliver to all states and territories across Australia, including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and regional areas.

What is tomato puree used for?

Tomato puree is used as a cooking base for curries, gravies, soups, pasta sauces, and stews. In Indian cooking, it provides the colour, body, and acidity essential to most North and South Indian gravies.

Can I substitute tomato paste for tomato puree?

Yes, but use less. Tomato paste is approximately three times more concentrated than puree. To substitute, use one part tomato paste mixed with two parts water to approximate the consistency and flavour of tomato puree.

Is tomato puree the same as passata?

Not exactly. Passata is typically made from raw strained tomatoes and has a fresher, slightly brighter flavour. Tomato puree is made from cooked tomatoes and has a deeper, more concentrated taste. Both can be used interchangeably in many recipes with minor adjustments.

How long does tomato puree last once opened?

Once opened, tomato puree should be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated. It stays fresh for up to 5–7 days in the fridge, or can be frozen in portions for up to 3 months.

What brands of tomato puree do you stock?

Velspices carries a curated range of quality tomato products suitable for Indian and South Asian cooking. Visit our Tomato Paste & Puree collection at velspices.com.au for the current range.

Do you offer bulk tomato puree for restaurants and catering?

Yes. We carry larger pack sizes suitable for restaurants, catering businesses, and large households. Check our Bulk Products section or contact our team for specific bulk pricing on tomato products.

Are your tomato products organic?

Some of our tomato products are from organic or natural producers — check individual product listings for certification details. We regularly expand our range based on customer demand.

Is canned tomato as good as fresh tomato for curries?

For cooked dishes like curries and gravies, canned tomato products — puree, paste, and whole tomatoes — are often superior to fresh because cooking concentrates their flavour. Professional chefs frequently prefer canned tomatoes for consistent results in long-cooked dishes.

Do you ship tomato paste and puree to regional Australia?

Yes. Velspices ships all pantry products Australia-wide, including to regional and rural areas. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on weight and destination.
