Hanglay Curry Paste
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup tamarind juice
3 tablespoon very thinly sliced lemon grass
3 tablespoon palm sugar
2 tablespoon yellow bean sauce (tao jiao)
2 tablespoon garlic minced
2 tablespoon prik ki nu haeng (dried red birdseye
1 chilis), crumbled
2 tablespoon challots thinly sliced
1 tablespoon ginger grated
1 tablespoon shrimp paste
1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1 pinch tumeric
Toast the coriander and cumin seeds until fragrant, and grate. Combine all the curry paste
ingredients and process to a fine paste. Shelf life: Will keep 3-4 weeks in a well stoppered
container, or may be frozen (I suggest you freeze it in an ice cube tray to give useable portions
for cooking without defrosting a large batch).
