Instructions

Notes
This curry paste is best used as a starter for Southeast Asian curries such as beef rendang, Thai coconut meatballs, and khao soi. Also works very well as a marinade for chicken such as my peri peri chicken.
The heat of this curry paste can be controlled by the amount and type of hot pepper used.
