Rogan Josh Curry Paste - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 garlic cloves
    fresh gingerroot (a thumb sized piece)
    75 g bell peppers (roasted from a jar)
    1 tablespoon paprika
    1 tablespoon smoked paprika
    2 tablespoons garam masala
    1 tablespoon turmeric
    1/2 teaspoon salt (sea salt)
    2 tablespoons peanut oil
    2 tablespoons tomato puree
    1 chili (red fresh)
    1 bunch coriander (fresh small)
    Spices For Toasting
    2 teaspoons cumin seeds
    2 teaspoons coriander seeds
    1 teaspoon black peppercorns
Preparation
    To make the curry paste first peel the garlic and ginger.
    Heat frying pan on a medium to high heat and add the spices for toasting to the dry pan and lightly toast them for a few minutes, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
    Then remove the pan from the heat and add the toasted spices to a pestle and mortar and grind until fine (or place them in a good processor or coffee grinder).
    Once you have ground the toasted spices add them to a good processor and blend with the rest of the ingredients until you have a smooth paste.
    The recipe finished here so it is assumed you would be using that day, it may keep in a sealed sterile jar for a few days but I do not know for sure.
