Ingredients | Thai Red Curry Chicken Recipe With Red Curry Paste

1 cup chopped Thai chile peppers

3 shallots, chopped

2 cilantro roots, peeled and chopped

1 head garlic, peeled and chopped

2 ½ ounces fresh Thai basil leaves, chopped

2 stalks lemongrass, sliced

2 tablespoons peeled and chopped galangal

2 tablespoons grated kaffir lime zest

2 tablespoons fermented shrimp paste

2 tablespoons freshly toasted cumin seeds

2 tablespoons peeled and chopped fresh turmeric root

1 tablespoon toasted coriander seeds

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon ground white pepper

Directions

Combine green chiles, shallots, cilantro roots, garlic, Thai basil, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime peel, shrimp paste, cumin seeds, turmeric, coriander seeds, salt, and white pepper in a mortar and pestle; pound into a smooth paste.

It is well worth the energy of using a mortar and pestle. You can use a food processor or blender to puree the ingredients into a paste, but keep in mind they can oxidize the ingredients, muddying the flavor.

Use 2 to 3 tablespoons of the curry paste in your curry depending on how spicy you like it.
