Thai Chili Paste image

This is your basic Thai curry paste, and it may be frozen, thawed and re-frozen again at least a few times until used. There is no salt in this curry paste, as the shrimp paste is salty enough. I searched for this recipe so I can make a soup here on 'zaar that looks really yum.
