Authentic Thai Red Curry Paste Recipe (วิธีทำ พริกแกงเผ็ด)

- After you make this Thai red curry paste recipe (พริกแกงเผ็ด), you'll be able to make other extremely tasty Thai dishes. Here's the full recipe: wp.me/p4a4F7-2u8
Thai curry pastes make the base or foundation for numerous Thai dishes, from soups, to curries, to stir fries. You can easily go to the market in Thailand and buy freshly made pastes, but they just don't taste nearly as fresh as if you make it yourself. Also, you could go to the supermarket and buy your Thai curry paste in a can or plastic tub, but again, it would lack the fresh flavors that you'll get when you make it fresh yourself.
In this recipe, I'll be making Thai red curry paste (พริกแกงเผ็ด), known in Thai as "prik gaeng ped". It's a combination of dried red spur chilies, with a host of other ingredients that include shallots, kaffir lime peel, garlic, white pepper, among other ingredients. There are a couple of ways to make this Thai red curry paste recipe (พริกแกงเผ็ด), but I think the best method is by hand, using an authentic Thai mortar and pestle to grind all the ingredients to a paste consistency. This does take some serious work, but the effort of slowly pounding the paste, ensures all the ingredients are pounded to perfection and all the oils of everything are released. Making it by hand, this recipe will take about 20 - 30 minutes or more to prepare, so it does take some time and energy to make by hand, but I can assure you that the final taste is amazing. Alternatively if you don't have a Thai mortar and pestle, you could blend all the ingredients in a blender or food processor - but if you have the time and muscle, go for it by hand.
Here are all the ingredients that you'll need in this Thai red curry paste (prik gaeng ped พริกแกงเผ็ด):
3 teaspoons white pepper corns
½ teaspoon cumin powder
½ teaspoon coriander powder
8 dry red spur chilies (soaked in water for about 10 minutes to soften them)
½ teaspoon salt
10 - 14 small cloves of garlic
5 small shallots (Thai shallots are the size of grapes, so it's about 2 tablespoons worth)
1 tablespoon finely sliced lemongrass
1 tablespoon finely sliced coriander roots
1 tablespoon finely sliced galangal
Skin of ½ kaffir lime
½ teaspoon of shrimp paste
The directions on how to make this recipe are pretty easy, as long as you have all the ingredients and the equipment you need. In Thailand you'll find all these ingredients at just about every market, they are extremely commonly used in Thai cooking. However, even in the United States, at Asian supermarkets, I've seen all these ingredients - so it shouldn't be hard to get everything together. Basically for the directions, all you have to do is first pound and mix the dry spices, including the white pepper, coriander powder and cumin, then set them aside. Then pound all the other ingredients together (watch the video for the best order), and just keep on pounding until you have a nice buttery Thai red curry paste. It took me about 20 minutes or more to get a nice paste, but the end result was so flavorful and so incredibly fragrant.
Once you have made this Thai red curry paste (พริกแกงเผ็ด), you can then go on to make a number of other Thai dishes that use this paste. One of my favorite Thai street food dishes is gai pad prik gaeng (recipe coming soon).

Lol I see this again after watch uncle roger review on jamie oliver red curry.
Yup, me too. It's like an eye bleach
Same bro
Me too 😂
Same
I'm here just to figure out how to do it correctly
totally watching this after uncle rogers review of jamie olivers attempt at this, it looks beautiful when done correctly
Same 🤣
Just came after watching Uncle Roger Review Jammie Oliver's red thai curry. this looks like heaven.
Mark, your love of food is always valued and appreciated.
I love thai red curry paste
That looks so good!! OMG - just made some red curry with a commercial jar paste and it was so lacking, I searched for my own recipe. Took a few Thai Cooking classes a few years ago so I have a nice big mortar and pestle. Can’t wait to get to an Asian grocery store to get the ingredients to make this. Thanks so much!!
When I saw this... OMG, made me miss my parents' so much! My mom taught me all this and add those small egg plants,mackerels.. side dishes of fresh veggies!yass!!!! And to top it of a hot bowl of rice it's like heaven!!!!!
I made this paste by hand. It was a lot of work but you're right; totally worth it! I've used it for a red curry. Thanks for the upload
You have got me hooked on chillies. I finally tasted my first Thia red curry 2 days ago and it was very good. I also got drunk noodles and they were awesome. The only thing I did wrong was order it medium heat. Today I went to one of our few Asian food markets here in Pensacola, Florida and bought a red curry paste but I want to make my own. Thank you for introducing me to so much great food
Hi mark and thank you I have made a number of red curry paste and this is the best and very authentic, once again much appreciated keep up the good work

Uncle Roger plz review this Red Curry

Loving your enthusiasm!
It's very impressive that you made the curry paste from scratch. It's a bit of hard work, so we often buy the ready-made ones from the market. Now I'm learning from you how to make it properly. Thanks.
Thank you realessence, I'm learning too - my wife and her mother taught me to make this. It's so interesting to know all the ingredients that go into the Thai curry pastes.
it is hard to get authentic thai food recipes in English, thanks for your great efforts Mark.
Red curry is one of my fave dishes so its cool to see how the paste is made.
Thank you Perdomot

Mark,
This was a simply and excellent how to video. It's good to see a down to earth man making cooking Thai food "easy." This gives some of us guys a bit more confidence to try things out for ourselves and our families. Coriander root might be hard to get in Hawaii, but I'll keep my eyes peeled for it. Thank you.
Hey Jeh Rhm thank you very much for your kind words, cooking is so much fun, and I really enjoy knowing all the components of what goes into these Thai curry pastes. Are you in Honolulu? I saw some coriander roots in Chinatown.
Yes, I am. I'll go check it out. Thanks !
really great vid :)
Love this - Thank-you for sharing :). Also, if you were going to make ahead, how would you store it and how long would it be good for?
I'll definitely try this tomorrow.. :) thanks Mark
Cool, thanks Suman Gurung, and I'll be publishing a recipe using this paste next week.

Wow ! So cool. ^______^
roong rainbow Thank you Roong.
Mark Wiens please give the home made recipe of the canned shrimp paste u used..in our country it's not available in shops..
Just made my first red curry wow.....you like chilli 🌶 🤣🤣🤣 I nearly blew our heads off but was so yummy. Thankyou. Love watching your videos. 😁
Hey Marc,
I just got fresh chilis, and the paste is so wet! Can i use this paste aswell? Or do i have to take dry chillis?
Btw the smell is AWESOME!
Hey man I love the look of this recipe. I'm trying to figure out Thai red curry for myself and I had a question. Since I've seen multiple videos using kaffir limes, and I can only find frozen kaffir leaves, then how many would you substitute in the paste? I figure I can always add more to the curry as it finalizes, but it'd be nice to have something to go off of for the paste. Thank you.
Some places down south in the United States don't have that stuff not fresh so I bought some in a journal that's as good as it's going to get
Wonderfull and potentially authentic. I just would recommend whole spices instead of powder.
Great work Mark! Maybe you can show us what kind of dish that you can make with that amazing paste
Thank you Tangkap Leleh, recipe with this paste, coming up next week!
Very nice! I live in Indiana. I'm not sure how to get all the stuff here lol. But Imma favorite this vid for the future. Nice work man! Thanks! :)
Looks amazing...definitely will try this. Do you have a cooking website ? Any other Thai dishes you can share?
Lovely thank you for sharing-:))
Thanks for sharing, Mark; amazing as always! I'm going to try my hand at this recipe this weekend...though, I may "cheat" and use a hand blender, at least to start. :)
Yum!!! 😍
I also came here courtesy of Uncle Rogers review on Jimmie Olivier red Thai curry
Uau! You did hard sport today. The food seems delicious like always and the preparing was really natural. Greetings Mark!!!
Thank you MundoXDescubrir a lot of work, but it tasted so good!
Wow,nice recipe in a very simplified manner,instead of shrimp,what can we add as an alternative
I feel inspired. The toughest part is buying all of the ingredients.
Congratulations! It must taste amazing, but I'll keep getting mine from the supermaket shelves!
Lovely recipe Mark! How would you cook this? Some people add coconut milk, or should I use coconut cream instead?
That looks awesome!! I can only imagine how delicious and fragrance a dish of curry would be with that paste!!!
Thank you DailyBread2007
Love Thai food, it is the best in the world and I fell in love with it the first time I visited two years ago. My top 5 favourite dishes are:
1. Tom Saap (Isaan soup made with pork, extremely sour, I love it)
2.Yam Naem (Sour Pork Sausage Salad)
3. Yam Kai Yeow Ma (Preserved egg salad. The eggs are black which can be off-putting but they are so creamy and delicious)
4. Som Tam Puu (Papaya salad with Crab)
5. Laap Moo (Minced Pork Salad)
Have you tried all of the above Mark? I'd be interested to know!
Try Indian
Hi Mark, this looks so good - can you give us the weight of 8 dry red spur chillies? red spur chillies are really hard to find in western countries
nice!
Thank you Tim Reimers
Nice & Thanks :)
Approved!!
❤❤❤..Love it x
thank you to show how to make and i enjoy it
Very nice. Will surely try.
How do u make Yellow Curry Paste ???
After 08 years, 😮 ❤
Hi Mark, I'm a big fan of your blog and videos! Can you tell me what is the difference between this red curry paste and another version called Country Style Red Curry paste? I have bought it off from Bangkok number of items and it has a distinctly aromatic and sweeter flavour. If you have a recipe for that than that would be cool to try as well. Thanks!
Hi ! Mark thanks for sharing .
How long will the red curry paste last good in the refrigerator ?
I had to substitute a few ingredients but I used this recipe as a major guideline.
I could not find coriander root or kaffir limes. I ended up using whole coriander seeds and whole cardamom seeds along with cumin seeds when I ground the white peppercorns in my mortar and pestle.
I used the zest of fresh organic limes in place of kaffir limes.
HOWEVER, I DID find fresh galangal, fresh lime leaves, fresh lemongrass, and the same exact shrimp paste used in the video (it stinks).
The lime leaves seemed to be the secret ingredient that gave my red curry paste that aroma and flavor that I love when I go out to eat Thai.
The red Thai chilies I found at my local Asian grocery looked like the spir chilies I saw on the web so i used those after soaking and reconstituting them in hot water.
I had to make due with regular grocery store shallots and garlic but they worked out fine.
Though I had to get creative and substitute a few things, the overall end result was AMAZING!
As I boiled the paste in coconut milk, I added a few more lime leaves (whole), some Thai basil, some red bell peppers, and sliced bamboo shoots. It turned out better than most red curries I've eaten at Thai restaurants.
I give this recipe a HUGE THUMBS UP for being a terrific guideline even with the lack of availability for some ingredients.
coriander roots are not necessary as some don't even use them as for Kaffir Limes and their leaves you can buy them at any asian mart, cost co also sells Kaffier lime trees but that's if you have a cost co where you live.
I came here after Uncle Roger's review on Jamie Oliver's Red Thai Curry recipe. Who with me?
it looks so good! love the red color! not sure where I live, our dry chili doesn't turn out that color =(
wow. that's a lot of work dude. i tip my hat for your dedication and passion for food :)
I’m here to see the correct recipe after seeing uncle roger
This is the authentic way not to Jamie olive oil way
thanks mark. Going to try this today. hope it works out. what part of tland are u?
Um about the ingredient,s like you were showing on your recipe on this video I don't know if they sell those ingredient here in yuma Mark.With respect
Hey Mark and everybody. - my Thai chef friend uses a good compromise shortcut by food processing all the ingredients to half way and then pounds it. Better than processed, almost as good as the pounding workout.
Can you blend everything in a blender to save time, then bash it all in a mortar to make a more buttery paste?
Can you also make the Thai green curry paste ? Thx.
