Cost information for the following is not included. Normally this is because the quantity or ingredient is unknown
1 large ripe but firm red pepper, halved, seeded and cored
The seeds of 6 cardamom pods (use a wooden chopping board and a flattened knife to gently crush the pods and remove the seeds)
4 curry leaves
2 cups of vegetable or chicken stock (I always make a cup or two extra, just in case the soup needs a bit of thinning out after the roasting and cooking process)
1 tot of brandy
