| 1. In a heavy frying pan, toast the ginger, cardamom, coriander, fenugreek, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and allspice over a low heat for a minute or so. | 2. Stir constantly until they are heated through and then remove from the pan. | 3. Next you need to combine the toasted spices, onions, garlic, 1 tbsp of the salt and all of the wine together into a smooth paste. | 4. I prefer to do this in a mortar and pestle but if you have a blender that is good with small quantities that may work too. | 5. Next mix the paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper and the rest of the salt in the frying pan and toast them over a low heat. | 6. Stir in the water 1/4 cup at a time and then add the spice and wine mixture. | 7. Stir vigorously and cook over the lowest possibly heat, stirring all the time, for an absolute minimum of 5 minutes and up to 10 or even 15 minutes if you can. | 8. Transfer the spice paste to a jar and pack it in tightly. | 9. Let the paste cool to room temperature and then cover with enough oil so it makes a film about 1/4 inch thick. | 10. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. | 11. If you keep it covered with oil, the paste will last in the fridge for 5-6 months. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
