Green/red curry paste
3 Answers
I cooked a thai green curry for the first time yesterday, but used a shop bought paste.
Has anyone got a recipe for a good red or green paste that I can make from scratch. I have looked some recipes up on google...but they all seem to have ingredients I've never heard of in it!!!
By the way...my curry was kind of 'soupy' rather than coating the meat like an indian curry....was this correct...or did I put in too much coconut milk?
Thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Thai curry can sometimes be 'soupy' but it's probably largely a matter of taste. (i.e. if you think that it might be better without quite so much coconut milk, just leave some out). There are no fixed rules - just make it the way you like it.
