    Thailand Recipe Red Curry Paste

    By Thai-Eyes | September 14, 2008


    One of the most famous recipes from Thailand is the red Thai Curry
    and the main ingredient is the red curry paste.
    This is about how to make Your own, original Thai red curry paste.
    There are thousands of recipes at the internet or at cookery books,
    but the most of them are not original, are overspiced or using wrong ingredients.
    Our recipe is orginated from an old cook from Bangkok
    and represents the central Thai cuisine.
    One of the biggest mistakes is the use of fresh Thai chilies (Prik kee noo),
    it will result in a very fiery and nearly uneatabel curry.
    For most Thai curry pastes (except the green curry), dried, big red chilies are used.
    Do not overspice Your curry paste by using coriander roots, coriander seeds, cumin or pepper!
    Do not add fish sauce !
    Traditionally, curry pastes are prepared by using a mortar and pestle,
    but who wants to avoid the sweat-inducing work with the mortar,
    can also use a food processor.
