Jalfrezi Paste - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 garlic cloves
    2 cm ginger
    2 teaspoons cumin seeds
    1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
    1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
    1 teaspoon coriander seed
    1 teaspoon turmeric
    1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    2 tablespoons peanut oil
    2 tablespoons tomato puree
    1 fresh green chili
    fresh coriander (small bunch)
Preparation
    First peel the garlic and ginger.
    Put a frying pan on a medium to high heat and add the spices for toasting to the dry pan. (Cumin, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds and coriander seeds)
    Lightly toast them for a few minutes until golden brown and smelling delicious, then remove the pan from the heat.
    Add the toasted spices to a pestle and mortar and grind until fine, or put them into a food processor and whizz to a powder.
    Either way, when you've ground them, whizz the toasted spices in a food processor with the rest of the ingredients until you have a smooth paste.
