Hi all,
This is my first message on the forum, I hope it's on the right place!
I'd like ask for advice about making curry paste, I went to Thailand a few months ago and did some cooking lessons, we were taught to do it using a pestle and mortar but I don't have one, and also it takes a lot of work to grind all the ingredients by hand so not sure if I want to buy one only for this. (it would also take a lot of space on my already full kitchen!)
We were also told it could be done using a food processor, but I tried this weekend and I don't know if mine is really bad (it's a kenwood), but the paste comes out very rough and with lots of bits on it, and i would like it smooth.
Is there any way of making a smooth paste? I thought about using the hand blender but I think lots of paste is going to remain on the blades and will be wasted (it's very thick although I added some oil for the food processor).
Many thanks!!
