Massaman Curry Paste Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 tbsp coriander seeds
• 2 tsp. cumin seeds
• 4 whole cloves
• 1/2 tsp. cardamom powder
• 1 tsp. white pepper powder
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 5 Guajillo dried peppers, or Thai long spur chilies, but I can’t find them in America so I always use Guajillo
• 2-3 Thai dried chilies (optional) If you want to add some spiciness, add in the Thai chilies, but Massaman is not typically spicy, so I normally don’t add the chilies, but go for it if you prefer spicy!
• 2 tsp. coarse sea salt
• 2 tbsp. galangal, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp. lemongrass, finely sliced, use the core between the root end and the leafy bits
• 10 garlic cloves
• 1/2 cup shallots, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp. cilantro stems, finely chopped
• 4 kaffir lime leaves, minced
• 2 tsp. shrimp paste
