Method

  • step 1

    Toast all the spices in a frying pan, then leave to cool. Tip into a spice grinder and blend to a fine powder, then add the tamarind paste, vinegar, cinnamon stick, chilli, coriander and roasted peppers. Blend to a coarse paste, then transfer to a container. Can be made a day ahead. Now try using this spice paste to make our venison madras.
