Red Thai Curry Paste

September 18, 2016

This is an authentic red thai curry paste passed on from EVERFIT athlete and orthopaedic surgeon Andy Vane. We had a great time learning how to create this over a couple of beers and then combining with the Red Tofu curry (see recipe on EVERFIT platform)

  • 7 Red Chili

  • 2 tablespoon Shallots
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped lemon grass
  • 1 teaspoon Galanga - Thai Ginger (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander Root (chopped)

Instructions

Red Paste Method 

 

1) Put peppercorns, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds in a mortar and pound well.

2) Add the remaining ingredients (except Shrimp paste * if vegetarian use a mixture of miso and fermented bean paste), pound until mixed well.

3) Add the paste and pound until fine and smooth.

 

We used a nutri bullet instead of the mortar and then blended everything up well. You could also use a food processor.
