  • Thai Red Curry Paste - Omg.. smells amazing!...

    Thai Red Curry Paste - Omg.. smells amazing!

    First time making anything like this before.
    Took a bit of time as I had nothing prepared and have never used lemongrass stalks before hahaha.

    Made about 480gm of paste.. so a few curries here. Just have to work out how much I like and go from there.
    Can be stored in fridge for about 6 months... not sure it would last that long though - think I maybe addicted.

    Just about to pop in some ice cube trays and freeze.

  • Fabulous! Fresh and healthy.

    Submitted by Megsy13 on 29. November 2015 - 01:09.

    Fabulous! Fresh and healthy. Used it to make a chicken curry tonight, and will freeze lots of 100 grams in individual ziplock bags. 

    I used 8 medium sized home grown chillies (medium heat), and haphazardly removed the seeds from most of them to leave some zing in! I used the zest of one small kaffir lime, which was about 1.5 tablespoons  (I have a kaffir lime tree and froze last year's harvest - they're perfectly usable from frozen!)

    Thanks for translating a great recipe!

    Submitted by amyk11 on 20. September 2015 - 20:50.

    Great paste. I used 5 of the big red chillies as I had no idea of how hot it would be (and my 21 month old eats what we eat). It probably wasn't enough and didn't really give any heat, so will add more next time.

    An authentic recipe and so much better than store bought. I froze my paste in batches of 50gm in little containers for use next time.  Will definitely make again

    Submitted by Julie Lawrence on 15. August 2015 - 19:04.

    Just made this today and used it to cook up a slow cooker beef (gravy beef, sweet potato, cauliflower, leeks, and coconut milk) ... yummo!! Very nice. I like that it doesn't have salt in it, like the commercial ones, that way I can add just the amount I want for the dish at hand.

    Submitted by Yolandac31 on 2. June 2015 - 20:55.

    Delicious!! We made this paste then took most out of the bowl. Added some coconut cream, coconut milk, beef strios, mushrooms and capsicum cooked for 45 minutes and served with rice. Quick easy meal with stuff we had at home no shopping trip required!

    (I used 7 dried chillies with seeds hence need for extra coconut milk)
