1. Add just enough water to make a paste thick enough to drop sluggishly off the spoon.
2. Heat the oil, then add the paste, and stir continuously until after a few minutes it's colour has gone much darker, and the oils separates and 'floats' when the mixture is left to stand off the heat for a while.
Tips
In this form, this paste will store in the fridge for up to a week. It can be frozen (eg in small yogurt pots)
For the Tandoori Dry mix see my other recipe for this to ensure the best paste is made.

@ Curry Master – hey no jokes - if Levi Roots, the guy who did the Regae Regae sauce can do it, then why not you?

A must if you want to avoid all those stores selling pastes with artificial colourings etc.
