Here is how you make Home Made Red Curry paste:

Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and process well to create a fragrant Thai red curry paste.If too thick, add a little more coconut milk to help blend ingredients. Note that it will taste very strong at this point, but will mellow when you add your curry ingredients plus remaining coconut milk. Also, it will turn 'redder' once it is cooked, bringing out the red chili color.If you prefer a curry sauce rather than a paste, add remaining coconut milk (typical can), and blitz.Serving Size: can be used to make one large curry for 8 people.
