YELLOW CURRY PASTE
I love making my own curry pastes for my favourite Thai curries. Yellow Curry Paste is milder than Red or Green Curry Paste because it contains less chillies. Curry powder and turmeric make the paste yellow. Different to the Red and Green Curry Paste it also contains cinnamon but no coriander roots. This paste keeps for two weeks in the fridge but it also freezes well. Just wrap some of the paste (say 2-3 tablespoons) in tinfoil, label, and freeze. This way, you will always have curry paste and it can even be used frozen (well, that's at least what I sometimes do). The recipe comes from Madhur Jaffreys Ultimate Curry Bible and she got it from the Grand Hyatt Erawan in Bangkok. This paste is enough for two dishes of pork, beef, chicken, prawns, squid, fish, crabs, lobster meat or hard-boiled eggs. For a Red Curry Paste see recipe #133926.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Peel the shallots - then drizzle with oil and wrap in foil. Peel the ginger and cut into thin slices. Arrange in a single layer, drizzle with oil, and wrap in foil. Pull the outer paper off the garlic. Cut the pointy tops off the heads of garlic so the cloves are partially exposed. Drizzle with oil, and wrap each head of garlic in foil.
- Place all the foil packets on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the ginger (it should be soft), increase the temperature to 400, and roast the shallots and garlic for another 30 minutes until golden brown and very fragrant. When cooled, you can squeeze the garlic cloves out of the rest of the paper.
- While the aromatics are roasting, pour boiling water over the chili peppers to rehydrate them. Let them soak for 15 minutes. Drain the water.
- Put everything in a food processor or very strong blender. Pulse or puree until the yellow curry paste reaches your desired consistency. The recipe should make about 1 1/2 - 2 cups of curry paste, and I use about 1/3 cup or more in each of my yellow curry recipes, so usually I can get 4-5 batches of curry out of this yellow curry paste recipe. The paste keeps for about a week in the fridge and it freezes well!

CURRY PASTE
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.

Tips
- **Choose the right ingredients:** Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. If you can, use lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves. - **Toast the spices:** Toasting the spices will release their flavor and make the curry paste more aromatic. - **Grind the paste finely:** The finer you grind the paste, the smoother your curry will be. - **Use a mortar and pestle:** A mortar and pestle is the traditional way to make curry paste, but you can also use a food processor or blender. - **Taste the paste as you go:** Adjust the flavors of the paste to your liking. Add more chili for a spicier curry, or more coconut milk for a milder flavor.Conclusion
