This is your basic Thai curry paste, and it may be frozen, thawed and re-frozen again at least a few times until used. There is no salt in this curry paste, as the shrimp paste is salty enough. I searched for this recipe so I can make a soup here on 'zaar that looks really yum.
Ingredients:
1 cup water
6 whole dried hot chili peppers
1 inch cube fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 sticks fresh lemongrass, finely sliced
125 g shallots (1/2lb) or 125 g onions, peeled & roughly chopped (1/2lb)
10 large garlic cloves, peeled & roughly chopped
1 teaspoon shrimp paste or 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Directions:
1. Put water in a bowl.
2. Crumble the dried chilis into it and let soak for 30 minutes.
3. Then put them and the water into a blender, and add the other ingredients.
4. Blend until smooth.
