STEP 1

Meanwhile, heat olive oil over a medium heat in a small frypan. Add sesame, cumin, coriander and mustard seeds along with the curry leaf sprigs. Fry until fragrant (about 1-2 mins) then carefully remove curry leaf sprigs. Reserve for decoration. Pour the rest of the ingredients into a blender with the soaked cashews, chilli, garlic, brown rice syrup, vinegar, extra salt and coriander leaves. Add 125ml water. Blitz until a smooth paste.
