Authentic Thai recipe for Basic Red Curry Paste

Phrik Kaeng Khua ()

This basic red curry recipe and method shows you exactly how to make your own curry base at home. All Thai red curry pastes start with the same base ingredients. They are lemongrass, galangal, coriander root, garlic, shallot, and kaffir lime zest. Then, for each type of paste, there are additional spices added so you can obtain the right flavor in your Massaman, Prik Kaeng Ped, Panang, or other red curry. It's so nice to be able to make these at home and control exactly what goes in.
