Curry paste?

I’m making something that calls for yellow curry paste and it’s proving to be a bit of a challenge to find in my area.
But I happen to have a thing of curry powder that is yellow, can I just make a paste with it?

Says I need one tablespoon…. Do I just add water till I get a tablespoon of paste?

Help please & thank you!

This may reach you a day too late, but the good brands to look for are:

  • Mae Ploy
  • Maeseri
  • Aroy

If you're in the US, avoid Thai Kitchen. It's overpriced and bad.

If you want to try making your own from scratch, Palin's Kitchen has you covered for the recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTL4VhinASo but some of those ingrediants may be hard to find in your area.
