When you make your own batch of Thai Red Curry paste the flavor and aroma is unmatched to any store bought product on the market. Make a batch and freeze it so you have it on hand to flavor a soup, curry or stir fry. The use of a mortar and pestle is traditional however I’m using my food processor to save time.

The ingredients used in this paste can be found at Asian Grocery stores – Fish sauce, Lemon grass, Galangal, Lime leaves, Garlic, Coriander root & peppercorns. This is made extra special with some crab, shrimp or fish paste.
Thai food contains a lot of seafood ingredients and its used even in Chicken and Beef recipes. To make a Vegetarian version replace the fish sauce with Soya sauce and the Shrimp paste with chilli bean paste and enjoy!
