Do It Yourself Mild And Creamy Yellow Curry Paste Food

EASY THAI YELLOW CURRY PASTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Peel the shallots - then drizzle with oil and wrap in foil. Peel the ginger and cut into thin slices. Arrange in a single layer, drizzle with oil, and wrap in foil. Pull the outer paper off the garlic. Cut the pointy tops off the heads of garlic so the cloves are partially exposed. Drizzle with oil, and wrap each head of garlic in foil.
• Place all the foil packets on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the ginger (it should be soft), increase the temperature to 400, and roast the shallots and garlic for another 30 minutes until golden brown and very fragrant. When cooled, you can squeeze the garlic cloves out of the rest of the paper.
• While the aromatics are roasting, pour boiling water over the chili peppers to rehydrate them. Let them soak for 15 minutes. Drain the water.
• Put everything in a food processor or very strong blender. Pulse or puree until the yellow curry paste reaches your desired consistency. The recipe should make about 1 1/2 - 2 cups of curry paste, and I use about 1/3 cup or more in each of my yellow curry recipes, so usually I can get 4-5 batches of curry out of this yellow curry paste recipe. The paste keeps for about a week in the fridge and it freezes well!

Stir in the stock cube and cinnamon stick. Simmer for around 45 mins - 1 hour with the lid off so there is a small amount of thickened sauce at the bottom of the pan. Remove the cinnamon stick.

• Taste the curry and add the optional but recommended lime juice (brightens the flavor of the dish), cilantro, optional light brown sugar (balances the heat), optional salt (I did not add any because the curry paste has salt in it), and add extra of any of the spices already used or more curry paste, if desired and to taste.

AUTHENTIC THAI YELLOW CURRY WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the curry paste to the oil, and stir-fry until fragrant, about two minutes. Take care to scrape any bits that stick to the bottom of the pot with your spoon.
• Spoon in the coconut solids from the top of the can first, and allow it to fry with the paste for a minute. Stir in the rest of the coconut milk (or coconut cream) and 1 cup of chicken stock. If you would like the curry to be thinner/soupier, then you can add 1 more cup of stock. Bring to a low boil, then turn the stove down to a simmer.
• Stir in the potatoes. When the potatoes are about halfway cooked through, stir in the carrots and onions.
• Once the carrots are almost fork-tender, add in the thinly sliced chicken and cook for two or three minutes, until the chicken is just cooked through and tender. Pay attention not to overcook the chicken, this process doesn't take long.
• Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the fish sauce, salt, and sugar, adjusting each to suit your tastes.
• Serve the curry in bowls, over jasmine rice. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.

EASY INDIAN BASIC CURRY PASTE

Steps:

• In a food processor, take onions, garlic, ginger and green chilies.
• Heat a frying pan, add oil and allow it to warm.
• Add onion, ginger garlic and green chili mixture and cook it for few minutes.
• Once the onion starts to lose water, add salt. It allows the onion to cook faster by losing more water.
• Brown the mixture well on low flame, and cook until the mixture starts to ooze oil and the mixture starts to leave the pan.
• At this point, the mixture becomes semi-dry and leaves the pan easily.
• This is the time to add spices. Add all the spices and give a good stir, so the spices incorporate well in the mixture.
• Now you have two choices. You can turn the heat off and keep this mixture as your base curry mixture or add tomatoes and cook it further.
• Because some curry recipes don't include tomatoes, I prefer keeping half curry paste without tomatoes and half with it.
• After keeping half of this mixture, I add chopped or puréed tomatoes, and allow it to cook until the mixture dries up and has a pasty consistency.
• Once it reaches a thick and pasty consistency, the curry paste is ready.
• Allow it to cool down completely and store it in refrigerator for a week or two.
• Set the instant pot to the saute mode. Let it heat till the "Hot" sign appears on the IP display. Add oil and let it heat.
• There is a little difference in this Instant pot method than the traditional curry paste making method mentioned above. Instead of adding onions first, we will add everything all at once.
• Add onion, ginger and garlic mixure, followed by tomato puree, all spices and salt. Give a good mix and saute for about 2 minutes. (Till the mixture loses some moisture)
• Now change the cooking method to pressure cook and set the time for 3 minutes.
• Close the lid and seal the vent.
• Once the cooking time is up, wait for the NPR.
• After the natural pressure release, stir the mixture well.
• Now press the saute button again and cook the mixture further till the mixture looks thick and paste-like consistency.
• The curry paste is ready. Store it in an air-tight glass jar for two weeks or freeze it for a month.
