How To
Do You Know How to Make Curry Paste?
Curry paste contains dried chillies and shallots, galangal roots, lemongrass (kaffir lime leaf), garlic, shrimp paste, sugar and salt. It is an important ingredient in Thai cuisine.
Curry paste is a popular condiment in Southeast Asia. Curry paste can add a distinct flavour to many dishes like curries.
It is very easy to make it at home. Follow our step-by–step guide below.
Step1 - Prepare Ingredients
- Before you can start the recipe, it is important to have all the ingredients ready.
- Peel and chop shallots (about two cups). Then chop galangal root into small pieces (about 3 inches long) and set aside.
- Next, remove and cut the cloves of garlic (about four cloves). Finely chop the lemongrass stems to about 1/2 inch in thickness.
- Crush the red chilli peppers with about four tablespoons of water and remove the seeds.
- Next, cut the kaffir-lime leaves into thin strips (5 inches). Next, remove the white part from the stem and leave it alone.
- After draining the shrimp paste, wash it well and then coarsely smash it.
- Finally, measure out sugar and salt.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients
- Blend all ingredients until smooth
- The texture should be similar to that of peanut butter.
- Note: if you want to reduce the amount of oil in the dish, you can substitute some water for some of the oil.
Step3 - Add Coconut Milk
- Add coconut milk to the mixture, and mix well.
- You should slowly add the coconut milk so that it doesn't get too sticky.
- If you like it milder, reduce the number of chillies used and add more galangal root.
- If you like it spicier, add more chillies and less galangal root. The end result should be delicious.
Step4: Serve
- Serve on top of your favourite foods.
- Enjoy!
