WHERE TO BUY RED THAI CURRY PASTE
This is probably your first thought? Am I right! Well I got you covered. First off you want to buy the right Thai curry paste or it will not taste as authentic.
Trust me, I have tried them all. And swear by only one brand, you will see that brand below. Here in Canada this can be found in almost every ethnic aisle at your local Superstore.
If you do not have a superstore, then you are going to have to shop around. Ideally, at a asian market.
In Thailand this paste is made from scratch with Kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass and galangal, red thai chilies, anchovy paste and a bunch of spices.
Which is all grinded to a paste in a mortar. If you really want to make it from scratch here is an excellent recipe for Thai Red Curry Paste.
