Cooking Instructions
1.

2.
Next, into a saucepan over medium heat, add in the Butter (3 Tbsp). When the butter is foaming and hot add in the fresh chunky paste. Cook for several minutes until it starts to soften and the water content starts to evaporate.
3.
Add Curry Powder (2 tsp), Ground Cumin (1 tsp), and Ground Coriander (1 tsp). Mix well, then keep stirring for the next 4-5 minutes to let the flavors intensify in the pan.
4.
