Instructions

  1. Wear gloves if you're sensitive to chillies. Cut them into pieces and remove half the seeds for moderate heat.
  2. Roughly chop the coriander and parsley, then crush the garlic with the salt.
  3. Blend the chillies, herbs and garlic with the lemon juice until you have a coarse paste.
  4. Add the cumin, cardamom, pepper and half the oil. Blend briefly.
  5. Transfer to a jar, cover with a thin layer of oil to keep it, and store in the fridge for up to a week.

Variations and tips

Mild version. Replace half the green chillies with green peppers for a gentler taste.
