Jalfrezi Curry Paste - makes 10 portions

My jalfrezi curry paste is delicious! I've taken inspiration from all over and created the blend which my family and i love. Its got a little heat, plenty of spice and with the cooled yogurt in my Jalfrezi curry recipe, the perfect balance. I use my mortar and pestle but you can use a thermocook or food processor to blitz.

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons Cumin Seeds (ground)
1 teaspoon Coriander seeds (ground)
1 teaspoon Black Mustard Seeds
2 Garlic Cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon Ginger, crushed
1 teaspoon Turmeric
2 teaspoons Curry Powder
​1 teaspoon Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Peanut Oil
2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
1 Green Chilli, deseeded
1 Large handful Fresh Parsley
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

Method:

Blitz all the above ingredients together into a paste. Use in my Jalfrezi Curry Recipe.

Tip - Freeze curry into small cubes for later use.
