Thanks for this! I needed some curry paste and didn't have time to shop for it. Tasted just great - I used already powdered forms of the seasonings and it was just fine.

Just what I was wanting! I was in a hurry so I used pre-ground coriander and cumin but changed nothing else. Loved it! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Excellent! Robust but not overly done. I toasted and ground all the spices. Used 3/4 of the paste for a lamb meatball curry. Can't wait to try it with chicken.

Easy to make and looking forward to using.<br/>Tweaked only by the use of some oil to prevent drying out before I get chance to use.<br/>As we all know the paste is only half the story and the pleasure will come when I decide which meat I'm going to use this with and how I decide to proceed with the sauce.<br/>Hope you include my picture.

After roasting my seeds I crushed them in my pestle and mortar for a more rustic paste, as per other reviewers I too used 3 Tbsp vinegar. It smells devine and I cant wait to give it a go...I'll be back to edit my review after I've my first curry. :)
