This is a curry paste recipe my mother taught me when I was a child. It has a wonderful aroma, and some ingredients are personal favorites, like holy basil flowers. Sometimes people leave them out, but I've always included them since I was young. Whenever I get the chance to make it myself, I use this recipe.
(The quantities and proportions can be seen in the photo. This recipe makes about 10 1/2 ounces (300 grams) of curry paste.)

Ingredients

  • Whole black peppercorns (add more for extra heat)
  • About half a kaffir lime peel (adding more will make it bitter)
  • About 1 heaping tablespoon sliced galangal
  • 2 stalkslemongrass (using more gives the paste a tangy flavor)
  • Holy basil flowers (optional, but my family likes to add them)
  • 1/2 tablespoonsalt
  • Sliced fingerroot
  • clovesThai garlic
  • Shallots
  • Dried chilies, soaked (for more heat, use dried bird's eye chilies; for milder flavor, mix with larger dried chilies)
  • 1/2 tablespoonshrimp paste (the kind I use is pinkish; if you use regular jarred shrimp paste, the paste will have a stronger smell and darker color, but it's fine to use if that's what you have. You can also wrap it in banana leaf and grill it first, if you like)

Steps

  1. 1

    Refer to the photo for ingredient amounts.

    A picture of step 1 of Red Curry Paste.
  2. 2

    Pound the black peppercorns until fine.

  3. 3

    Add the kaffir lime peel, galangal, lemongrass, and holy basil flowers one at a time, pounding each until fine before adding the next (if you add them all at once, it's harder to get a smooth paste).

  5. 5

    Add the soaked dried chilies and pound until smooth.
