I tend to have some more free time on Sundays so I was hoping to start making some nicer and fancier diners.
I’d say I would have about 90 minutes or so that I could dedicate to prep time (or if it needs prepped the night before like a marinade that’s fine too) and pretty much as long as it needs for cooking too.
What’s your favorite meal to make on your weekends?
You have a good recipe for curry? I love Thai food, but I’ve never thought about making it at home!
Making the paste isnt really worth it imo
Just buy it. Thai curry is simple and delicious.
Basically…
Galanga, lemongrass, shallot, garlic, birds eye peppers or lombok, coriander seeds and fish paste or dried shrimp is a good start in a mortar and pestle.
Better than anything store bought or out of a food processor. There is nothing like fresh pounded spices. It takes effort but makes a big difference in getting authentic flavor.
Start with a can of coconut milk and reduce it so you only have fat left, then fry your pounded spices in that, add proteine (no need to fry), add some boullion, curry and lime leaves, another can of coconut milk a bit later.
