Curry Paste

Curry paste is an aromatic spice blend central to Asian cuisine, made from a combination of fresh and dried ingredients. The base typically includes chillies, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, galangal, and various dried spices. The most well-known varieties are Thai red, green, and yellow pastes, each with a distinct composition and heat level. It is used as the base for sauces, soups, and stews, most commonly combined with coconut milk. Only a small amount is needed as the paste is highly concentrated and flavourful. Store it in the refrigerator, where it keeps for several weeks. It is an excellent choice for quick and delicious Asian-inspired dishes.
