Thanks for this! I needed some curry paste and didn't have time to shop for it. Tasted just great - I used already powdered forms of the seasonings and it was just fine.

I did enjoy making this paste from scratch. I dry-roasted the coriander and cumin seeds in a small pan, before grinding them in my coffee grinder. I smashed the black peppercorns a few times in the mortar and pestle, then did the same with the cloves of garlic. The curry paste came together nicely with 3 tablepoons of vinegar to moisten, and it smelled fabulous. A quick and easy recipe which I incorporated in some yummy potato and coriander samosas, recipe also courtesy of Fairy Nuff. Thanks for posting - it is so much more fun using homemade curry paste, than buying it at the supermarket, and the taste is far superior!

The spice combination and proportions of this curry paste are just right. I was able to make a lovely, fresh-tasting curry with it. I did think that there was rather less curry paste than the stated yield. It's delicious, though. Thank you very much for another excellent recipe.

This was a fabulous recipe. I also used 3 tablespoons of vinegar, which made it into a perfect paste. I used the entire amount with some lamb, and it was a perfect curry. Will be making this one again for sure.

After roasting my seeds I crushed them in my pestle and mortar for a more rustic paste, as per other reviewers I too used 3 Tbsp vinegar. It smells devine and I cant wait to give it a go...I'll be back to edit my review after I've my first curry.
