Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the onions and peppers for 2 mins until soft. Add the ginger, then add the tomato purée and curry paste. Mix well with the veg. Fill the curry paste jar with water and add to the pan (about 200ml). Bring to a bubble and simmer for 8-10 mins until thickened and saucy.
