HOMEMADE THAI GREEN CURRY PASTE



Homemade Thai Green Curry Paste image

Recipe video above. Usually, the main reason to make homemade curry paste is because you just can't get the same intense, fresh flavour in a jar. And while that holds true for green curry paste, the other very big advantage is that you can control the spiciness without compromising flavour or the signature green colour.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 green cayenne pepper chilis (, deseeded and chopped (Note 1))
6 Thai green chilis (, chopped (Note 1))
2 red shallots / eschallots (, chopped)
2 lemongrass stems (, trimmed and finely chopped (about 2.5 - 3 tbsp) (Note 2))
2 tbsp galangal (, grated (Note 3))
5 cloves garlic (, chopped)
2.5 tsp dried shrimp paste ((Belacan) (Note 4))
2 tsp lime zest (, grated)
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/4 tsp turmeric
2 tbsp chopped coriander/cilantro root and stem ((Note 5))
1/4 cup coriander / cilantro leaves (, loosely packed)
2 - 3 tbsp water (, as needed)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except water in a powerful blender or food processor. I use my Vitamix because it makes the paste smoother.
  • Blend to a fine paste, scraping down the sides as you go. Add the water as required to help it blend (you may not need any as the herbs and chilis have moisture).
  • Use to make Thai Green Curry!
  • Best to use immediately. Otherwise, refrigerate for up to 2 days, or freeze for 1 month.

TANDOORI MASALA PASTE - 2 OZ. OR 50 G



Tandoori Masala Paste - 2 Oz. or 50 G image

Entered for safekeeping from curryfocus.co.uk. This is a little different from other tandoori mixes on food.com by the use of dried mint. If you don't find dried mint in the herb/spice section, check the tea section of the supermarket. I think the mint is a substitution for dried fenugreek leaves, which can be found at an Indian market.

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients except the water in a non-reactive bowl. Add just enough water to produce a slightly runny paste which should drip slowly off a spoon like treacle.
  • To use the paste, add the paste to the recipe oil (or ghee) and stir continuously until the paste color darkens and the oil separates and floats to the surface of the mixture. Let the paste cool a little before adding to the chosen recipe.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, as they will yield the best flavor.
  • If you don't have access to fresh lemongrass, you can use dried lemongrass. Just be sure to soak it in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • When making the curry paste, be sure to blend it until it is very smooth. This will help the flavors to meld together and create a delicious, flavorful paste.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender to make the curry paste. Just be sure to blend it in short bursts, as you don't want to overheat the paste.
  • When cooking the curry, be sure to simmer it over low heat for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
