I just accidentally poured a bottle of passata into my curry... Any ideas for tomato-based curry recipes?
I've been incredibly scatterbrained lately and I just ruined my favourite curry. I was cooking a dish that, ironically, has no tomatoes in the recipe whatsoever. I sauted the onion, added ginger, garlic, some standard spices and red curry paste, a broth made from dried lemongrass (because I don't have fresh), coconut milk, and then my hand reached into the cupboard for a litre bottle of passata and poured it into the pot, and by the time I realised what I was doing it was already too late.
I'm sure it's because of my compulsive spaghetti cooking, blah. Now I have a full pot of oriental tomato paste. The taste isn't terrible but it's also quite strange and I genuinely don't know what to do with it to avoid throwing it away. Any ideas on how I can put a positive spin on this and make something good out of it? I have lentils, rice, chicken, butter, peanuts, peanut butter, more coconut milk.
