This is a full flavoured korma curry paste recipe. Your usual take out can now be prepared easily at home. Use it to make a lamb, chicken or perhaps a chickpea and vegetable korma and have them all asking for seconds! I’ve also used a dollop added to soups like pumpkin to give a flavour boost.
You can easily freeze the paste from this or if you like it as much as I expect you will, you won't need to freeze it because you'll be making it again before the week is out! Plus they say a good curry is better the next day so imagine the extra boost of flavour! Use this paste in a delicious chicken and vegetable curry.

Didn't use the green chillies and substituted the cashews for almond meal.
Used 50g with 400g prawns and it was just right. The family loved the flavour.
