Cook’s tip
This is quite a fiery curry which you can make milder by using just half the jar of Gujarati paste and using up the rest to spice up a dhal or vegetable soup. Alternatively, serve with a cooling homemade raita, made by mixing together Greek yogurt, finely diced cucumber, finely chopped mint and a squeeze of lime.
