Advantages: fabulous tasting curry and good value

Disadvantages: none

I am a big curry fan, and love amking my own if I have time but sometimes you dont have all the spices and ingreidents. I thought I would try this paste rather than a sauce as it sounded more authentic and looked like it would last longer than an already made sauce.\

I simply use this by spooning a small amount onto chicken, and let it marinade, then add a bit more of the paste to either water ( if I want a more healthy option) or cream and make a sauce. I then add the marinated chicken to this and also add potatoes and vegetables and simmer gently.

The flavour from the paste is pretty amazing as it tastes quite authentic and also the good thing about this is that you can make it as strong or mild as you like. The madras is quite spicy anyway but if you did want a more mild curry then do a great masala and korma too.

The other advantage about this paste is that it lasts a long time, as you only need a small amount at a time. The paste can be refrigerated once opened and kept for quite a while, or it can be frozen too.

A great curry paste and good alternative to a takeaway in these hard money times

Summary: a fantastic curry and saves the pennies as goes far...try it
