This has got to be the best authentic curry I have ever made.  I got the recipe from a fellow MasterChef contestant whose grandma in India had given it to him.  It does take a little more effort but believe me, it’s worth it.  The following quantities only make 3 servings so I would recommend you double it up.

½ cup plain yogurt

1 tbsp. anchovy paste
