Blitz until smooth.
Place the rogan josh curry paste in a sterilised jar. The mix will last a few days. You can also freeze it into ice cube trays.

Mix well, then cover with cling film and place in the fridge for at least an hour.
Spray a large frying pan/wok with low calorie cooking spray.
Fry off 4 tbsp of the rogan josh curry paste for a few minutes until it begins to stick to the bottom of the pan
Add the tinned tomatoes, and stock cube (just crumble it in). Fry until the mixture starts to boil
Add the marinated lamb, vegetables and the water to the pan. Bring to a boil, then place a lid on the pan and simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove from the heat, and add 2 tbsp of fat free yogurt, and a small bunch of roughly chopped coriander - stir well. Then serve!
