👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1

    Taste dried chillies for spiciness. Place the chopped chillies in a large bowl and pour over about 3 cups of freshly boiled water. Leave to soak for a good 30 minutes or so.

  2. 2

    Remove chillis and reserve water.

  3. 3

    Put chillis in a blender or powerful food processor.

  4. 4

    Add remaining curry paste ingredients into the blender along with 1/4 cup of the chilli soaking water.

  5. 5

    Blitz on high until smooth – test by rubbing between your fingers. It takes around 20 seconds in a powerful blender. It might take up to 1 minute. Use a touch more water as required to aid with blending.

  6. 6

    Scrape into a bowl or airtight container. Store for up to 3 days in the fridge, or freeze it to use later.

  7. 7

    Use in place of store bought curry paste in recipes that call for it – especially Thai Red Curry!
