Some suggestions for who making Thai curry pastes or Any Thai curry dish for the First time:
Making a Thai curry dish or any Thai curry pastes are so easy. But if you are a beginner and making the dish it can be difficult to make it. So I am giving you some suggestions which I got from my cooking experience. Hope All suggestions will help you too.
- Do not use Thai Ginger or “Galangal” too much in your Thai curry pastes as well as any Thai dish. It has a very strong flavour it can overpower the Thai dish. so carefully use this.
- Always use the end part of lemongrass and if you want to more lemongrass flavour on your any Thai dish just crush the end part of lemongrass with the help of any back side of the knife. And simply adds the Lemongrass part to the cooking pot.
- But must remove the Lemongrass from the cooking pot before serving the dish.
- Never use too much salt or sugar. Always taste the dish before adding any salt or sugar. If you are adding coconut milk then limit the use of sugar. Because coconut milk has a natural sweetness.
- And use salt carefully, cause fish sauce a salty condiment.
- There is no strict guideline to use shrimp paste in your Thai curry dish. If you do not like this or you do not find this just make the dish without it. It doesn’t make any difference in the tastes of the dish.
- If you want to make the dish spicy and hot add Thai birds eye chilly to your dish. But if you don’t want a spicy Thai curry dish, add the sweet red paprika powder to your dish for colour. Or you can use any spice less chilli and thick coconut cream to your Thai curry dish.
- If you are making Red or Yellow curry paste, use any red chilli fresh or in powder form in your choice to make the curry pastes. And if you are making any Thai green curry pastes use any chilli of your choice to the green curry paste making.
