Yes, I saw that. Looks tasty.

Paste is the only way to go IMO. Many of the ingredients in them you can't normally find or wouldn't stock in your pantry, not to mention it is so much easier. For Indian style, I like Patak's paste (not the sauce). For Indonesian/Fijian style I like Tseo- comes in a can with yellow label.
