Thai Red Curry Paste - Thai Recipes

[vyperprism1]

I'm over in Ireland and I have never heard of galangal before. I'd love to be able to cook this meal because when I was in Thailand last year it was delicious. What's the best substitute for galangal if I can't find it?

[zoozee9]

I got all the ingredients today ...from galangal, lime leaves, thai red chilly...to white Am excited to make this curry today. god bless!

[skyllaable]

thank you for the recipe! I am learning to cook Thai red curry and want to make my own paste. Great video

[willcanbe]

Can I come to dinner.

[Sherryveg]

The recipe looks good, I can't wait to try! I was wondering; what brad is your blender?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@Sherryveg : This is an Indian Blender - Sumeet.

[PhantomAct]

i'm going to prepare some paste too. The supermarket one is too bland for me. Do u use "fish sauce?" Secondly, would u recommend adding shrimp paste?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@PhantomAct : We have not added the fish sauce as we wanted to make it totally vegetarian but you can use that and skip the soy sauce. As for the shrimp paste, we suggest you add it to the dish instead of to the paste.

[PhantomAct]

i like the way u say "charlottes," so cute... it's a sharp "Sha" + "Lots."

Patterned top woman=HOT!

Hi ladies, love your vid :-).I've got a question; I dont have the fresh galangel but powdered, can I use that to make the paste and if so how much of the powdered galangel do you advice me to use for the paste? xoxo Bethany, Amsterdam-Holland

PS:keep it up!!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@bethanyfja

We have never used powdered galangal but are assuming that it must be similar to powdered ginger. The hint of ginger taste is there but the overall flavor is different. Usually, dried spices are more potent than fresh so use less.

I just made Thai curry and used the Thai Kitchen brand (from the grocery store), Red Curry Paste. It had everything but the celantro and white pepper. This paste is very mild and not very spicy. I used the brown sugar insted of palm sugar. I was very pleased with the curry and just had to season it with fish sauce. Super easy to make and you can use any vegetables you choose. You would have to add additional pepper if you use the Thai Kitchen Curry Paste.

I <3 You Hetal :) You're too gorgeous!

[Ivory1975]

for the 3 thumps down: if u cant stand the heat, GET OUT OF THE (THAI) KITCHEN!

[chomponthis510]

I just made this curry paste, it is soooo good! Let me tell you, it sure is spicy! My wife said it's the perfect amount too; enough to make you sweat, but not die. Thanks!

[jxbeaucp]

Great recipe for thai red curry paste! I think its sometimes hard to find limes leaves because they are also called kaffir lime leaf. I usually find mine at raley's.

[sudhirwise]

[cocacolaisgood]

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@cocacolaisgood

No, the yellow color comes from turmeric.

[cocacolaisgood]

@ShowMeTheCurry Can ya make a video showing how to make yellow curry and or green plese

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@cocacolaisgood : We will put that on our (long) list :)

[riasia1805]

I tried this recipie and turn out fanastic. Now i can cook deliciousThai red curry at home. It's just because of you. Thank you very much both of you. I appreciate your video quality, the way you explain the recipies & gives small tips throught out the show. Hoping to see more Thai Recipies from you.

[Thestargazer000]

i have dried lemon grass, could that work? maybe soak it in water?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@Thestargazer000

If the fresh one is absolutely not available, then you can use the dried one. However, you really miss the freshness.

[Anithas101]

I haven't seen such big shallots. I think you got the shallots wrong. You got the onions instead of shallots. In Kerala we use a lot of shallots and it is known as kochulli or cheriya ulli or kunjulli.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@Anithas101

No, they were shallots. They had distinct two halves when we peeled them. We were surprised, too!

[preeya000]

umm looks yummy,i love thai food...but i never try....

[slg929]

Hi Hetal n Anuja,

I have tried this recipe and it turned out so gud ... I made thai fried rice with this paste n its was awesome .... all my guests liked it n were asking for recipe,Can u tell us how we can make thai fried rice.

Thanks A Bunch.

[shailshri]

Which brand, model of blender have you purchased from India?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@shailshri

Its a Sumeet.

[shailshri]

@ShowMeTheCurry

Thanks for your reply! :-)

Is it a 110V mixie or is it a 240V one which u use with an adapter/converter to suit the voltage in US?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@shailshri

We had it converted in India but there are many similar mixies available here in the US. We have one on our Kitchen Store on our website. It has been temporarily closed due to our vacations, but will be up and running shortly.

[shailshri]

@ShowMeTheCurry

Thanks. I will look at your store link once its up and running!

[slg929]

Yipee!!

Hi Anuja n Hetal .... i made red curry paste today ... really my home smells heavenly haaaaaaaaaa u got the smell... as anuja said I will be making thai food every night lol :)

U ladies rock.

[slg929]

Tanx Anuja n Hetal .... I have found lemon grass ... but the thing is I have lot of them ... what can I do with rest of the lemon grass ... can I freeze it??If so can u please tell me how to preserve??

And can I substitute ginger for galangal ... If so how much ginger should I use to follow this same recipie

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@slg929

Yes, you can freeze lemon grass.  Just wash & remove the outer hard covering and allow it to dry. Then cut the stalk into 2 inch pieces and freeze in a freezer type ziploc bag. They can be thawed and used later.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@slg929

Since ginger has a stronger flavor, use only about 1/2 the quantity.

[slg929]

Hi Hetal n Anuja

where can I find lemon grass,galangal?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@slg929

Sometimes regular American grocery stores will carry lemon grass, but we have been able to find galangal only at Asian markets.

[jhanayoga]

your videos are so sexy!

[harshme1980]

Hetal, your store link is broken :(..

can you suggest any brand that I can buy here in US ?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@harshme1980

We are about to leave on vacation so have temporarily closed the store. It will be up and running around mid August.

[leftyla]

This is GREAT!! I've always wanted to learn to cook Thai food. I'm glad you girls are doing a series!

[Scootermagoo]

[ytrap2007]

Have you thought about writing a cookbook? Just an idea :) Another great video! I want to see you ladies with your own show on Food Network! Tell the guys hi for me :)

[theKockunge]

@ytrap2007 theres too many cookbooks in my opinion :) to me vids are sooo much better. :)

[impriya1984]

Hi didi..

Please tech us how to make thai soup. My Dh loves it.

Thanks

[SuzanneBa]

Wouldn't you be able to replace some of the pepper with Bell Pepper so you get the colour but no flavour of Paprika?

[kinkypooh1019]

I always buy curry and tikka paste. Will you be posting recipies for those as well?

[PR0STH3T1C]

which is spicier, the dried or fresh chili?

[TheBluePepper]

@PR0STH3T1C Depends on the chili, but in most cases the fresh is hotter.

[luticia]

@PR0STH3T1C Just have a try ;-)

[BrickRoux]

I never thought that I'd be able to make Thai curry pastes at home. This is going to save me a fortune - thanks!

[TheVittleVlog]

Nice work!
