3heat the oil and fry the spice paste for 5 minutes or so; stir to prevent sticking.

13notes:
14this is the curry i made for a dinner party on good friday.
15I used yams and sweet potatoes, but in the past i"ve used a mixture of broccolli and cauliflower with equally good results.
16Before becoming vegetarian, i used to use cubed lean lamb or beef.
17Whichever main ingredient is used, it"s long been my favourite home-made curry!
