Yellow Curry Paste (Prik Gaeng Leung)

Yield:about 1 cup

Fresh turmeric gives this curry paste an attractive goldenrod hue and a peppery, pleasantly bitter flavor. Fewer chiles in the paste mean this is a mild curry.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 oz. dried red spur chiles or other dried chiles (see Tip, below)
  • 2汤匙。香菜种子
  • 2 tsp. cumin seeds
  • 1/4 cup sliced fresh lemongrass
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh turmeric root
  • 3 Tbs. minced galangal
  • 1 tsp. coarse salt
  • 1/4 cup minced garlic (from about 8 cloves)
  • 1/4 cup minced shallot (from 1 medium shallot)
  • 3 Tbs. minced fresh cilantro stems
  • 1 Tbs. kaffir lime zest (from about 2 small limes) or minced kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 Tbs. shrimp paste
  • Coconut oil (optional)

Preparation

  • Remove the stems from the chiles, and shake out and discard the seeds. Break the chiles into pieces, and soak them in hot water for 20 to 30 minutes to soften.
  • Meanwhile, combine the coriander and cumin seeds in a medium skillet, and toast, stirring constantly, over medium heat until the seeds are aromatic and slightly darkened, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool.
  • 使用重型砂浆和杵,将烤种子磨成细粉。取出并放在一旁。
  • Combine the lemongrass, turmeric, and galangal in the mortar, and pound until ground to a coarse paste, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Drain the chiles, and finely dice them. Add to the mortar, and sprinkle with the salt. Pound until the mixture is fine and the oils are fully released, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, shallot, cilantro stems, zest, and reserved spices, and pound until the ingredients are incorporated into a smooth paste, about 20 minutes. You’re looking for a buttery consistency with no chunks, like tomato paste. Add the shrimp paste. It will almost melt into the curry paste as you spread it around.
  • Use the curry paste immediately, or store it in an airtight container covered with a thin layer of oil for up to 1 month in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer.

Tip

Use chiles such as Mexican guajillo, puya, New Mexico, Anaheim, or California that are fragrant but not overly spicy.
