Red Curry Paste

August 16, 2018 | Recipe by Bake with Paws



I have been seeing quite a few recipes that use red curry paste in Thai dishes and since I do like many of them I thought I would prepare some to enjoy the many dishes that can be made with it. This recipe is adapted from Hot Thai Kitchen with some modifications.
