Recipe
Cooking instructions: Cut the meat, fish/seafood or vegetables into generous pieces.
1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan, add the spices and cook for 20 seconds (use chilli from spice pack for extra heat), then add the tomatoes, tomato paste, all the curry paste, 100ml water and bring
2. To a simmer while stirring to disperse paste. Add the protein or vegetables and simmer for 10 minutes - or, if using fish or seafood, 6-10 minutes - stirring gently
3. As the finishing touch, add the cream, 2 tbsp oil and butter to simmer for 3 minutes, or until meat or other protein is cooked through.
Serves 4 with naans, rice or parathas.
Please ensure food is fully cooked and piping hot throughout before serving.
As appliances may vary, these are guidelines only.
If you don't like whole spices, grind these in a pestle and mortar and add them at step 2 (before simmering). Alternatively, if you left the spices whole, remove them with a spoon before serving.

Tailor to taste
Use these handy tips to customise your dish:
- Also great with paneer, mushrooms and lentils.

- Add some green chillies and green peppers for a karahi-style dish.
