Notes
This is a very simple and easy to make curry. If you do not want coconut then leave it and add a little more chopped tomatoes. This will taste just as nice.
You can add coconut milk also instead of coconut paste.
If you are in a hurry, you can also mix a little ready made coconut powder  in a little water and add.
Coconut powder and coconut milk is available ready made over the counter in supermarkets.
