After doing some research, I decided to use this recipe from Nish Kitchen as a starting point.

For the current version, I made some changes (i.e., omitted or substituted ingredients) based on what I had on hand.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
  • 20 g cashews
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 30 g canola oil
  • 15 g tomato paste
  • 4 cm ginger, peeled
  • Handful cilantro

Method

Combine all the ingredients in a tall narrow container. Blend into a smooth paste with a hand blender.
