this one

I have put the onion, chilli etc in the food processor but I just have a chopped up mess and not a paste.

What am I doing wrong?

Could you try and rechop it if your processor has a smaller bowl? Or one of those stick blenders?

I don't think that it will make a lot of difference to the finished dish if the paste is a little chunkier, might just need a bit longer to soften the garlic etc.

Its not going to be like the paste you get in a jar. It will be messier and chunkier. It will meld together more if you add oil, but don;t need to do that as you are frying it in oil anyway.

It isn't wrong, "paste" is a very loose term with home cooking.

And can I come round please? It sounds delish.

Phew, it's my first attempt at a curry and I thought I'd messed it up at stage one

All welcome but you will need to bring extra opossums

I'm doing crispy chilli prawns as well

Bloody iPad

Popadoms

Tell me about these crispy prawns.

Crunchy opossums

Prawns were cooked and then dipped in a chilli and flour and then deep fried in a hot wok.

It was all very nice but I am very full and DH is now snoring like a hibernating beer

Thank you f or all your help
