Homemade Yellow Curry Paste

I just recently started making my own curry paste recipes. It is a game changer. The depth of flavor a homemade curry paste brings to a dish compared to a caned curry paste is out of this world. The cool thing is when I make it, I tend to make a lot that way I can use it for multiple dishes, not just curries. For example, my boyfriend put it in his eggs… not sure how that was but yeah its versatile!

To Make Curry:

3. Continue sautéing for 8-10 minutes until veggies begin to caramelize.

4. Next add in 1-2 cans of coconut milk, salt, and lime juice as necessary.
