How to Make

  • Step 1: Place a dry frying pan over low heat and lightly toast the coriander, cumin, and caraway seeds for 2 minutes. Remove them to a mortar and use a pestle to grind to a powder. Or use a coffee grinder, dedicated to spices.

  • Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and fry the onion, garlic, and chiles for 10 to 12 minutes, until dark and almost caramelized.

  • Step 3: Blitz together all of the paste ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth, adding a little more oil if needed.
