This is a really good and easy to make curry paste. No time used, no effort, and very tasty. As noted: Suze prefers less heat, Bold likes a lot. Go ahead and use as much, or little, cayenne as you like! The decision to use water or oil will depend on what type of recipe you will be using this in. An oil-based marinade, for instance would call for oil, likewise, water-based preparation.... do what works for you.

THAI RED CURRY PASTE

Thai Red Curry Paste image

Great for Thai cooking. I got the recipe a long time ago from a friend, who suggested that making red curry paste is better than buying it in the store; he was right! You can mix the ingredients as you like. Curry is something that can be experimented with and should be! Just make sure that you do not remove the ingredients, as it will remove authenticity. For a more mild curry paste, remove and discard the chile pepper seeds.

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your curry paste the best flavor. If you can, buy your ingredients from a local market or farmer's market.
Toast your spices: Toasting your spices will bring out their flavor and make them more aromatic. You can toast your spices in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or you can toast them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
Use a food processor: A food processor will make quick work of grinding your spices and other ingredients. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a mortar and pestle, but it will take longer.
Store your curry paste in an airtight container: Curry paste can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze curry paste for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Making your own curry paste is a great way to add fresh, authentic flavor to your curries. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own curry paste at home. So next time you're making a curry, try making your own curry paste. You won't be disappointed!
