Ingredients
- 0.7 ounces Thai red chili seeds removed, chopped, dry
- 0.2 ounces dried chilies
- 1.8 ounce lemongrass (finely chopped)
- 1 ounce galangal (sliced thinly)
- 0.2 ounces salt
- 0.2 ounces kaffir lime zest (sliced thinly)
- 0.2 ounces Turmeric (sliced thinly)
- 0.7 ounces shrimp paste
- 1.8 ounce garlic (minced)
- 1.8 ounce shallot sliced thinly
Instructions
- Soak the dry red spur chilies in lukewarm water for about 10 minutes to soften them. Drain thoroughly to remove excess water before adding them to the paste.
- Start with the dry ingredients—dried chilies, lemongrass, galangal, and salt. Pound them in the mortar until they are finely broken down.
- Next, add the soaked red spur chilies, kaffir lime zest, turmeric, shrimp paste, garlic, and shallots. Continue pounding until the mixture forms a smooth, fine paste.

Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
- This recipe makes a spicy red curry paste. For medium spicy, use half the amount of dried chilies, for lightly spicy, omit the dried chilies altogether.
- This recipe yields 8.5 oz of curry paste, which means you'll have some extra for future use. Simply store the leftover paste in your fridge or freezer for a quick and easy meal next time.
