Great video! If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s worth mentioning that blade grinder manufacturers have finally caught on to the fact that people use them for spices, so lots now come with removable, interchangeable metal bowls so you can have one for spices and a separate one for coffee - and you can wash the bowls in the dishwasher, finally. Some even have a bowl with different blades designed to work better with herbs and wet ingredients. They’re fantastic.

I made my own curry paste, and it's way better than store bought paste. As you mentioned, store bought paste is way salty and spicy. I do slighty toast the dry chillies so they come up as a fine powder when I use a grinder and the all over paste has a finer texture.

Your immersion blender trick was a game changer for me! I now only make my own curry paste and have been for years. And I always have the ingredients on hand either in the pantry or freezer, so I’ll whip up a curry paste even on a week night thanks to the immersion blender trick. Thanks Pai! 😁 WARNING THOUGH! I have broken a (cheaper) immersion blender on a curry paste 😬 I think i was just a little too aggressive with jamming it into the paste while blending, and the blade got caught. So if you’re like me and don’t have a super quality immersion blender, just be gentle and have a bit of patience. Since then, I haven’t had a problem.

Hello from Canada; I had wondered about the name of the lime, bcs I’d always known it by the K-word as well. In researching whether they were indeed the same thing, I found out that the K-word is a grave insult in other cultures, and should not be used. It is a slur akin to the N-word, in S Africa and other cultures. I was glad to learn this, and I hope you are, as well. Be well!

I have made my own pastes a number of times. I love it. I start with dry spices which are ground in a coffee grinder. What I do differently when it comes to pounding is to pound each non-spice ingredient separately into its own paste. I remove it from the mortar and pestle. I don't "clean" the mortar when pounding the next ingredient. I end with the shallots. Pounding shallots alone is an issue, but then I start adding the dry spices in to absorb that moisture. I keep adding the remaining ingredients one at a time (including the shrimp paste) in order of dryness. When I get to the garlic, that's when I pound to mix and break down any large pieces. Also, I usually double the shrimp paste, because I love it.

I usually use electric appliances to do it (because my mortar game is weak! 😅), and I often have to add liquids, but that doesn't interfere with the recipe I'm doing because I always match liquids with the recipe: it's either coconut milk or simply oil! As we get to fry curry paste in oil or reduced coconut milk in most of the recipes, it doesn't affect final result! 😜

I used a few to infuse some white vinegar and boy it is amazing! My mouth started watering just thinking about it. I also preserved some the Moroccan way and put the rest in my freezer. Such an amazing find, they are not to be found anywhere in my town except that one time. I’m excited I can finally make my own curry paste.

Anyway I used those plus a little stem just in case. I also doubled the recipe which I think helped out my immersion blender a bit.

I didn't make my own red curry but I did make my own green curry paste some times. My experience was that yes it was much easier to customize and it was not as concentrated in terms of flavor as the one I bought (my paste was from Lobo). I had to spend a whole morning on that curry paste but I enjoyed the process and it was a nice weekend day. However for a week night when corporate drains all my energy I'm more than happy to use a store-bought paste for a 30-min dinner.

I freeze mine in plastic containers (or the vaccum bag it came in). If you don't add water to homemade paste (traditional method), it won't freeze solid so you can cut it up while still frozen. Great for last minute decisions. I've also frozen it in batch amounts so 1 tub or piece = 4 servings. Forgot to add, I hate washing ice cube trays and getting the food out the tray. A plastic container is so much easier to clean up and after 2 washes the scent is gone.

I like making curry pastes myself. For me, the main reason is the option to customize the paste: Many pastes are comparably salty and oftentimes, I just go for mild chili which allows me to see how much heat I want to add to the final dish. Another reason is that I cook for people with allergies to fish products and vegans. With storebought, you are then quite limited. Personally, I like to soak my chili whole and chop them later comparably finely but I like the convenience of using scissors. I might try that next time.

As for the Cuisinarts, I have three sizes; the regular 8-cup FP-8P1CRG model, the Cuisinart DLC-2 AMR Mini Plus Processor, and one more that's smaller than the Mini Plus, but I don't see a model number or model name on that one. I don't own an immersion blender. However, I do own two Japanese mortar and pestle sets (Suribachi and Surikogi ) which I've had since the 1980s.

what works for me is doing it in a traditional blender using some of the water i soaked the chiles in. then pan fry the paste to get that extra moisture out. and yeah its always better than store bought

I use an electric masala grinder ( Indian mixer grinder ) Works perfectly for Thai curry pastes

i use the magic bullet and/or the ninja blender. The result is so fine that it looks like smoothie. I also added some olive oil.

here i came to learn to make red curry paste, now i need to learn how to make shrimp paste too :\ In Thailand, i could go buy everything i need to make shrimp paste and red curry paste i guess, but in Norway it's not easy to get everything that you have easily available. Good point about leaving out the seeds in the red curry paste, its not suppose to be very spicy, that's the job of the chili paste :) I like food super spicy, and my trick if you make something that got even to spicy for my mouth, ill just add a couple of mirrored eggs to the dish to make it a bit easier, except for the day after haha :) If you know what i mean!

anyhow, can I use fresh chilis instead of the dried ones? can only find the arbol dried chilis here, but there are multiple of fresh chilis.

Nittaya Curry Paste is a fantastic store bought curry paste. I think it comes the closest to a homemade paste. Try it out.

I have seen cilantro with their roots attached at the grocery store a couple of times. Ask your grocer, especially Asian grocers, if they can get cilantro with their roots for Thai cooking. They probably could get them for you and it would save someone the trouble of cutting them off in the first place.

We have kitchen counters but here in Thailand no one prepares food on the counter. They lay a large mat on the floor and do the food prep there. I never see my Thai family making these curry pastes. Curry paste is available in the nearby fresh markets.
