Share:
Ingredients
- 2 large onions peeled and cut into quarters
- 2 medium tomatoes peeled, seeded and chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic paste or 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger mince or grated with a Microplane
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon cayenned pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, process the onion and tomato separately into fairly smooth purees.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil.
- When the oil shimmers, fry the onion puree for about five minutes.
- Add the tomato puree and fry for another five minutes, or until most of the moisture has cooked out.
- Add the salt, garlic, ginger, and the rest of the spices and continue to fry until the oil begins to separate from the vegetables.
- To use in a recipe, for each cup of paste, add about ½ cup of stock and/or coconut milk and bring to a boil. Toast your favorite curry powder in a dry skillet until fragrant and stir that into the sauce. Reduce the heat, add meat and/or vegetables, and simmer until everything is cooked through.
Notes
- Garam Masala, or mixed spice, is available at Indian grocery stores. You can also make your own spice blend using any one of a number of recipes on the Internet.
