Fish and Chip Shop Curry Sauce

The classic British chip-shop curry sauce, ready to pour over chips or serve as a dipping sauce. Cooking the curry powder and tomato paste together for a full minute before any liquid goes in is what toasts the spices, unlocking their flavour instead of leaving the sauce tasting raw.
