Korma Curry Paste

Korma paste for Indian meals, be it chicken, lamb, vegetables or even soup. We often eat Indain so found this recipe, from Jamie Oliver, so we can make good meals from scratch. I guess it makes about a cup.

I had pulled this off of Jamie Oliver's site to try, so great minds think alike. It's very easy and tasty, but it's different to the type of paste you might be accustomed to from a jar. It's not as concentrated or strong, you likely need the entire batch for one dish as I did. The recipe makes about 1/2 cup. Really tasty blend, I used the 2 fresh chilis but left out the cayenne to keep it mild - very good!
