fry a little, I just wanted the garlic and ginger to fry a little and lose raw smell and the coriander, curry and mint leave to cook a bit.

Remove from the stove and let it cool. Now add it to a food processor and blend well.
Check the salt and adjust it according to taste.

Now heat the oil for frying.
