Ever wondered what's in red curry paste? I got this recipe a long time ago from a friend. He suggested that making red curry paste is better than buying it from a store — he was right! When making curry, be sure to experiment with the ingredient amounts to find what works best for you. Just be sure you don't omit any ingredients! For a milder version, remove and discard the chile pepper seeds.
