Chef's Notes
Do not skip soaking the chillies. Hard chillies make a chunky paste, and nobody wants a lumpy curry.
Pro Tip
Double the batch and freeze it in ice cube trays so you have instant curry power whenever inspiration strikes.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Forgetting to reserve the chilli water and trying to blend dry ingredients will instantly burn out your blender motor and leave you with a sad cloud of dust.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the court magician to turn my water into wine, but he accidentally made it into Thai curry paste. Now the king is spitting fire and the jesters are all sweating through their tights.
The Culinary Science
Rehydrating dried chillies wakes up fat-soluble capsaicin compounds, making the paste taste significantly richer and more vibrant.
