Rogan Josh Curry Paste Recipes

ROGAN JOSH CURRY PASTE

Steps:

• To make the curry paste first peel the garlic and ginger.
• Heat frying pan on a medium to high heat and add the spices for toasting to the dry pan and lightly toast them for a few minutes, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
• Then remove the pan from the heat and add the toasted spices to a pestle and mortar and grind until fine (or place them in a good processor or coffee grinder).
• Once you have ground the toasted spices add them to a good processor and blend with the rest of the ingredients until you have a smooth paste.
• The recipe finished here so it is assumed you would be using that day, it may keep in a sealed sterile jar for a few days but I do not know for sure.
