This is actually from the calendar. I hope I acknowledged it before. It's lovely.

Was wondering how much mixture this makes.  Is it just for one meal and if not, how do you store it - freeze perhaps?

[cookie1]

It makes quite a lot JD. Probably enough for 2 meals. I'm not sure how to store it.  I think it would be fine in the fridge for a while. Someone else may have a better idea. It's really yum. I made Naan Bread to go with it. Then froze the leftover Naan for next time. (actually daughter had it as 'bread' for a sandwich)

You could cook it up to the yoghurt stage, maybe cook a little more, and either freeze the paste or put in a jar and cover with some oil and then lid & place in the fridge.

Then add yoghurt etc just before use.

It is a bit like a curry paste with yoghurt added - so how do you store your curry pastes?

Thanks for that Thermomixer. I thought that was probably the way to go.  Will do that next time.

I made this last night and froze the leftovers (with the yogurt already added).  Will let you know how it goes.  Thanks for typing recipe up.  I have the calendar, but would rather cut and paste it and pop it in my Thermomix Recipe Book.

Once rubbed into meat, How Do I cook it ?   

[Thermomixer]

Good question Hermie !!!!  I tend to cook it in the oven ( unless you have a tandoor  :or).

You can also bbq the meat.  Lamb is good too.  You can do in a frypan on the stove and I have even steamed some meat with tandoori mix, but high heat is generally better
