| Cook for 15 minutes stirring from time to time. |
| Add the turmeric, cumin and coriander and cook still very gently for a further 5 minutes. |
| Take off the heat and cool a little. |
| Now put 120 ml cold water in a blender and add the contents of the pan. |
| Then add the tomatoes and whiz it all up. |
