"Don't be daunted by the list of ingredients, this is surprisingly simple. If you have any paste left over it can be stored in a screw top jar for up to 3 weeks"

This was very good! Very much like what I get in restaurants. The batch I made was a bit too sweet though. The cardamom seemed to be a bit too present, and I halved the chilies, thinking it would be too spicy. That was a mistake! Next time I will use all 6 chilies, a bit less cardamom and maybe only one shallot. Its also worth noting that I used 3 Tbsp of the paste rather than 2.
