Yellow Curry Paste Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the red chillies in 5 tablespoons hot water for 1-2 hours. (You could also put them in a microwave oven for 2-3 minutes and then let them sit for 20-30 minutes.)
• Put the chillies, together with their soaking liquid, into a blender along with all the remaining ingredients in the order listed.
• Blend, pushing down with a rubber spatula as many times as necessary, until you have a smooth paste.
• What you do not use immediately should be refrigerated or frozen.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the coconut milk and curry paste to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the potato, carrots, onion, bell pepper, corn, chile, basil sprigs, lime leaves, and fish sauce. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Discard the lime leaves and the basil sprigs. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with chopped basil and serve over steamed white rice.

Steps:

• In a stir fry pan mix 1 can coconut milk and the amount of curry you desire (start w/ half if you are unsure).
• Then add other can of milk and heat till boiling.
• Add the meat and continue to cook.
• When the meat is about 1/2 way done add the carrots and water and cook till carrots are tender.
• Add basil, pineapple, peas, and bamboo shoots and cook 2 more minutes.
• Serve over rice, and garnish with chopped cashews if you desire.

Steps:

• Prepare curry paste: combine chile peppers, shallot, lemon grass, garlic, oil, sugar, ginger, coriander seeds, caraway seeds, curry powder, mustard, salt, and cinnamon in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Refrigerate in a glass jar until needed.
• Prepare chicken: rinse and pat chicken dry. Thinly slice chicken into 2-inch strips.
• Heat oil and 1 teaspoon curry paste in a saucepan over high heat, stirring frequently, until curry bubbles. Reduce heat and add chicken, potatoes, chile peppers, coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear and potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir curry paste into oil until smooth. Add chicken; stir to coat each piece.
• Pour 1 can coconut milk into skillet and stir until curry paste is completely dissolved and begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour remaining coconut milk, chicken stock, onion, potatoes, and chile peppers into curry paste mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir fish sauce into chicken curry mixture just before serving.
