Prepare this authentic Thai curry paste to make our family's Thai Red Curry recipe. You'll need fresh Thai ingredients, a mortar & pestle and a bit of spare time.

Freeze any leftover paste up to 2 months in a zip lock bag, in tablespoon size portions, making it easy to add to future curries as needed.

 

 

Ingredients

Pulverize in a granite mortar and pestle the dried chillies, sea salt, garlic, lemongrass and turmeric to a fine paste. Blend in the shrimp paste with a spoon. Set aside.
