Thai Red Curry Paste

Hi People, 

Weekend again, and I want to bring a twist in my usual curry. Well what better than adding a pinch of Thai base to my Indian curry. 

Sharing with you today, a simple Thai Red Curry Paste recipe

Here you go ..

Ingredients:

• Byadgi Dried Red Chillies  (15) / Kashmiri Chillies (15)/ Regular Dry Red Chillies (7)
• 1 stalk of Lemongrass 
• peel of 1 regular lime
• hand full of coriander leaves 
• 1 inch pealed ginger
• 1/2 pealed red onion
• 6 cloves of pealed garlic 
• 2 tbsp of lime juice 
• 1/2 tbsp white peppercorn powder
• Salt for seasoning 

Recipe: 

• Soak byadgi or kashmiri dried red chillies in 1/2 cup hot water for 20 minutes. If using regular dried red chillies, remove the seeds before soaking to reduce the spiciness. After 15 -20 minutes drain water and keep the chillies aside
• Prepare lemongrass- cut & discard the root. Peel the outermost layer & chop them into discs
• Peel the outermost rind of a lime. Take care not to peel the white layer underneath the skin, as that will make the curry bitter. We want only the outer thin green layer
• Now take everything into a blender add 3-4 tbsp water and blend until fine

Your Thai red curry paste is ready for use 

You can add it to hot oil and add some coconut milk and vegetables/ chicken/ meat to make a sumptious thai curry 

Hope you enjoy it!! 

Happy Eating :)
