Introduction
Learn how to make authentic Thai Red Curry and Green Curry pastes from scratch. These fragrant, flavor-packed bases are essential for making delicious, restaurant-style Thai curries at home.
Step 1
Review the required ingredients for making both the Thai green curry paste and red curry paste.
Step 2
Prepare the fresh coriander roots by thoroughly washing them under water to remove any dirt, and place them into the small grinding jar.
Step 3
Grate the yellow rind (zest) of one lemon directly into the grinder, making sure not to grate the bitter white pith.
Step 4
Add garlic cloves, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, galangal, green chillies, chopped lemongrass stalk, and shallots into the grinding jar.
Step 5
Add salt, a splash of water, and grind everything into a smooth, thick green curry paste. Transfer it to a clean bowl.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always wash the coriander roots thoroughly as they tend to hold soil and sand.
Use only the yellow zest of the lemon rind; the white part under the skin is bitter and will spoil the taste of the paste.
Galangal is a native Thai ingredient resembling ginger, but it has a unique woody, citrus flavor that cannot be fully substituted by regular ginger.
Adjust the quantity of chillies to suit your heat preference.
