Notes
* Indian dishes use kashmiri paprika, which has an intense red color and is mildly hot. You can buy it online or substitute regular sweet paprika with a pinch of hot paprika added.
In tomato season, you can use fresh tomatoes instead of canned ones — 2 tomatoes for the paste and 2 for the main dish.
