You should have heard the critiques for the earlier versions.
-> Somethings missing…
I dont know what.
Somethingsmissing!-> Its nice, but itsbrownnot red.
-> Why is itgritty?
The veggies are too soft, the chickens not tender enough -> Its almost there!
Actually, the cook is usually the toughest critic.
Were pretty hard on ourselves!
But finally, the whole RecipeTin Family approves and we declare this curry paste to be The One.
The 2nd time I tried it, I gave up 3 minutes in and scraped everything into a blender.
Blender is the way to go.
Blender all the way!!!
Much of the base for this Thai Red Curry Paste is drawn from Chef and restaurant recipes.
But everything should be relatively simple to hunt down, they are all pretty common Asian ingredients.
Justshow the shop keeper these photosif you cant find them!
The star ingredient in Thai Red Curry is dried red chillies.
Usingfresh red chillies wont produce the same end result, I tried.
Another ingredient in Thai Red Curry Paste that is a bit unique isgalangal.
It looks like ginger, but tastes more citrusy and is harder to cut.
If you cant find it, substitute with ginger and lime zest.
The other key ingredient in Thai Red Curry Paste isShrimp Paste.
This is where our recipe differs from some authentic Thai recipes.
Made from fermented, dried shrimp (prawns),most Thai recipes use pure shrimp pastewhich is calledBelacan.
Typically, its sold in dried blocks which is required to be soaked to rehydrate before use.

This is truly restaurant quality!!!!.
( <- OK, there may have been a little jiggy upon the first taste test).
You cant achieve this using a blender, only grinding by hand.
Solution: Use Shrimp Paste in oil.There are many brands out there.
I use Por Kwan which is the most popular brand at Asian supermarkets here in Australia.
Youll be strangely disappointed when you do a taste test it doesnt taste like anything amazing.
Have faith, my friends, have faith!
But the most well known use is probablyThai Red Curry.
We hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
Cant take him seriously!
