Korma curry paste
A family favourite hailing from northern India, this mild paste stars tomato, fresh coriander and dried spices.
Ingredients
- 1 tbs cumin seeds
- 55g (1/3 cup) raw cashews
- 60ml (1/4 cup) tomato puree
- ¼ cup chopped fresh coriander
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tbs desiccated coconut
- 1 tbs garam masala
- 3 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 2 tsp sweet paprika
- 2 tsp ground turmeric
- 60ml (1/4 cup) vegetable oil
Instructions
- Place the cumin seeds in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until aromatic.
- Blend the cumin seeds, cashews, tomato puree, fresh coriander, garlic, coconut, garam masala, ginger, ground coriander, paprika and turmeric in a blender until coarsely chopped.
- Add the oil and blend, scraping down the side of the blender occasionally, until a smooth paste forms.
Notes
Cook's tip: To bring out the flavour of the cashews, roast them at 180C for 8-10 minutes before blending.
Tips: Keep a wooden spoon just for curries.
The wood absorbs flavours that can be released when you make other dishes.
To store curry paste, transfer to a clean screw-top jar, cover with a layer of oil and keep in the fridge for up to 1 month.
To freeze curry paste, spoon into ice-cube trays and freeze. Transfer to a sealable plastic bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
