I LOVE this recipe. The only downside of this recipe is that it doesn’t explain how to use the paste once you’ve made it :.

My recipe for awesome curry:
– Put a can of coconut milk with a tablespoon of sugar and heat it until the sugar was dissolved.
– In another pan, cook your meat, if using any.
– In another pan, sautee up some veggies, if you’re going to use any.
– Add meat to veggies.
– Pour heated can of coconut milk into veggies.
– Add 1/4 cup of paste.
– Heat until the kitchen smells amazing. Or to taste :
– Serve over white rice.

Everyone who had some of the curry loved it, so I am pretty sure you will too!

Oh and this makes A LOT of paste, so you may need to share with people. :

I made the slow cooked curried cauliflower with chicken and chick peas recipe and used this recipe for the curry paste. It was fantastic and I made it in about 3 minutes with my Vita Mix blender.
