Hi there,
According to Jamie magazine (Sept/Oct12), first step is toasting the spices on a dry frying pan (could be a TM, you use 100ºC or Varoma, stir mode, till you smell toasted spice), then grind them (blitz in Thermomix), then add the peeled garlic and ginger, peanut oil, tomato paste, fresh chilies and fresh coriander and reblitz. Also, the recipe in the magazine specifies 75 g of roasted peppers from jar (and explains that the last-mentioned three spices are the ones roasted at the very beginning). I hope it's as good as the Jalfrezi from Jamie, and thanks for sharing, Halex!
