Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large, deep pan, then fry the onions, ginger, garlic and chilli for 10-15 mins until soft. Add the remaining ingredients and some seasoning, then boil for 30 mins, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and is sticky.
  2. Cool slightly, then whizz in a blender or food processor until smooth. If the sauce is a bit thick for your liking, stir in a dribble of boiling water. Sieve, then funnel into a bottle or jar while still hot. Cool completely before serving. Will keep for 3 months in the fridge.

    I was a little disappointed with this recipe, tastes too sweet and the consistency is very similar to soup. I did water it down slightly but was afraid of over doing it. If someone gets the sugar measurements correct, please let me know. I wasnt sure how many coriander seeds to put in, so i added a teaspoon.
