How To
Are You able to make curry paste?
Curry paste can be made with dried chillies. It is an important ingredient in Thai cuisine.
Curry paste is a popular condiment in Southeast Asia. Curry paste adds a distinctive flavour to many dishes such as curries and soups, stir fries, stir-fries or rice dishes.
It's easy to make at-home! Follow our step by step guide below.
Step1 - Prepare Ingredients
- Before starting the recipe, you will need to prepare all ingredients.
- Start by peeling and chopping shallots (about 2 cups). Next, cut galangal root into small chunks (about 3 inches) and put aside.
- Next, cut four garlic cloves into pieces. The lemongrass stems should be roughly 1/2 inch thick.
- After that, you will need to crush dried red chili peppers (about four tablespoons) before removing the seeds (optional).
- Next, cut kaffir lime leaves into thin strips (about 5 inches long). Take out the white part and place it in a bowl.
- After that, wash and drain shrimp paste (about 6 ounces), then coarsely mash it.
- Measure out the sugar and salt.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients
- Mix all ingredients until well combined.
- The texture should look similar to 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
- Mix coconut milk with the mixture.
- Add coconut milk slowly so that the paste does not become too sticky.
- If you prefer less spicy, add fewer chillies and more galangal root.
- You may prefer it hotter, so add more chilies or less galangalroot. The final result should taste good to you.
Step4 -- Serve
- Serve on top of your favourite foods.
- Enjoy!
