Penang curry paste (Nam Prik Gaeng Penang)<\/p>\n

2 Tab<\/td>\nDried red Spur chillies<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/td>\nLemongrass, finely chopped<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00bc Tsp<\/td>\nGalangal ginger, finely chopped<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1-2<\/td>\nShallots, finely chopped<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1 slice<\/td>\nKaffir lime rind, finely chopped<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1-2<\/td>\nCloves Garlic, chopped<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/td>\nCoriander root, chopped<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1 Tsp<\/td>\nWhite pepper<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1 Tsp<\/td>\nRoasted coriander seeds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00bd Tsp<\/td>\nRoasted cumin seeds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00bc Tsp<\/td>\nShrimp paste<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00bc Tsp<\/td>\nSalt<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3 Tbs<\/td>\nRoasted roughly ground peanuts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

In a stone mortar and pestle pound coriander seeds, cumin and peppers thoroughly until they are a fine dust.<\/p>\n

Add lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime, and coriander root to mortar and pound until there isn\u2019t any obvious sinew (quite a while, they say a good wife can do this quickly and for a while, not my words!!)<\/p>\n

Add dried chillies and salt pound unit pieces of chilli cannot be made out from the rest of the matter (again not an easy task, right arm starting to feel it now).<\/p>\n

Add shrimp paste and pound to mix in the paste.<\/p>\n

NOTES:
\nTo roast coriander seeds and cumin seeds you just put them on a flat tray in the oven. They are done when you can smell them roasting.
\nSoak the red spur chillies in warm salted water for 10 min before chopping them.
\nOnly use the white part of the lemon grass. The green can be used to make a lemon grass tea.
\nGalangal ginger is not ginger and can\u2019t really be substituted. It looks like ginger but doesn\u2019t really have the same flavour
\nKaffir lime is not lime. It has a skin like the outside of a brain. You only need about 2cm of a strip
\nCoriander root is literally that. You can get it from Coles where it is attached dirt and all to the fresh coriander. You chop off the root at the point where the green starts
\nTo keep stir fry for a couple of minutes, let cool and put in a container in the fridge. It will keep for a few months<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
