Curry Paste from Scratch
Live Wednesday nights$59 per householdSelf-paced coming soon
Jar curry paste is fine on a Tuesday, but paste made from scratch is a different food altogether. Toast, pound and blend your way to a fresh paste, then turn it into dinner while it is at its best.
What we will make
Toasting the spices
Why whole spices toasted in a dry pan beat pre-ground every time, and how to smell the moment they are ready.
The fresh aromatics
Building the base with chilli, garlic, ginger, turmeric and lemongrass, plus the kaffir lime leaf trick that lifts the whole pot.
Pound or blend
What a mortar and pestle gives you that a food processor cannot, and when the shortcut is fine.
From paste to dinner
Turning your fresh paste straight into a Malaysian-style chicken curry, balancing sour tamarind against palm sugar and coconut milk, and how to store the rest.
