PANANG CURRY PASTE

This batch curry paste recipe represents the Indian influences of southern Thailand, utilizing plenty of dry spices. The paste will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks. To make the paste, you can use a food processor, but the flavor is much better if you use a mortar and pestle. Use 3 to 4 tablespoons of the Panang curry paste in your curry depending on how spicy you like it.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your curry paste.
Toast the spices before using them. This will bring out their flavor and aroma.
Grind the spices into a fine powder. This will help them blend into the curry paste smoothly.
Use a mortar and pestle to grind the spices. This will give you a more authentic flavor than using a blender or food processor.
Be patient. Making curry paste takes time and effort, but it's worth it in the end.
