Red Curry Paste
I was unable to get any fresh turmeric, so I instead used about 1tsp of dried turmeric. Obviously, it turned into a yellow curry. However, it tasted great!

Great Thai Curry Paste
This is a fanatstic Red Thai Curry Paste. It is very easy to make and the fact that you cook out the rawness of the paste just improves the flavour. I suggest that if you love Thai food make this Curry Paste and cook the Roasted Red Duck Curry..... it is awesome!!!! I use already roasted Duck Breast. If you do get the chance try Suget's Restaurant 'Spice I am' in Darlinghurt in Sydney. The food is as good as what you get in Bangkok........Aroy ma!!!!!!!
