Nothing compares to a homemade curry paste: I promise it’s worth the hassle!
This recipe is for 5 or 6 curries. The amounts are based around a bunch of coriander with roots, to minimize waste, it can be frozen and it lasts for about 5 months in the freezer.
For now it based on volume of the ingredients finally chopped, but soon it will be updated with exact quantities.
