4. When cooked place in a blender to make into puree.

Stage 2: (Curry)

1. Heat 7 tbsp of oil in a medium sized sauce pan.

2. Add cardamons and the bay leaves and slowly fry.

3. Add the Mr Huda's Tikka Masala Paste and cook for a few seconds (stirring continuously).

4. Add the ready blended puree and cook for further 3-4 mins (stirring occasionally, covered).
