Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Peel the shallots - then drizzle with oil and wrap in foil. Peel the ginger and cut into thin slices. Arrange in a single layer, drizzle with oil, and wrap in foil. Pull the outer paper off the garlic. Cut the pointy tops off the heads of garlic so the cloves are partially exposed. Drizzle with oil, and wrap each head of garlic in foil.
- Place all the foil packets on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the ginger (it should be soft), increase the temperature to 400, and roast the shallots and garlic for another 30 minutes until golden brown and very fragrant. When cooled, you can squeeze the garlic cloves out of the rest of the paper.
- While the aromatics are roasting, pour boiling water over the chili peppers to rehydrate them. Let them soak for 15 minutes. Drain the water.
- Put everything in a food processor or very strong blender. Pulse or puree until the yellow curry paste reaches your desired consistency. The recipe should make about 1 1/2 - 2 cups of curry paste, and I use about 1/3 cup or more in each of my yellow curry recipes, so usually I can get 4-5 batches of curry out of this yellow curry paste recipe. The paste keeps for about a week in the fridge and it freezes well!

THAI YELLOW CURRY PASTE
This simple and easy to prepare recipe is from the kitchen of my local Thai restaurant. Thai curries don't actually have to have curry powder in them to be authentic. This is more of a seasoning mixture.

YELLOW CURRY PASTE
I love making my own curry pastes for my favourite Thai curries. Yellow Curry Paste is milder than Red or Green Curry Paste because it contains less chillies. Curry powder and turmeric make the paste yellow. Different to the Red and Green Curry Paste it also contains cinnamon but no coriander roots. This paste keeps for two weeks in the fridge but it also freezes well. Just wrap some of the paste (say 2-3 tablespoons) in tinfoil, label, and freeze. This way, you will always have curry paste and it can even be used frozen (well, that's at least what I sometimes do). The recipe comes from Madhur Jaffreys Ultimate Curry Bible and she got it from the Grand Hyatt Erawan in Bangkok. This paste is enough for two dishes of pork, beef, chicken, prawns, squid, fish, crabs, lobster meat or hard-boiled eggs. For a Red Curry Paste see recipe #133926.

Steps:
- Soak the red chillies in 5 tablespoons hot water for 1-2 hours. (You could also put them in a microwave oven for 2-3 minutes and then let them sit for 20-30 minutes.)
- Put the chillies, together with their soaking liquid, into a blender along with all the remaining ingredients in the order listed.
- Blend, pushing down with a rubber spatula as many times as necessary, until you have a smooth paste.
- What you do not use immediately should be refrigerated or frozen.

Tips:
- Choose the right chilies: For a milder curry paste, use dried chilies or fresh chilies with lower heat levels, such as Fresno chilies or mild jalapeños. For a spicier paste, use hotter chilies, such as cayenne peppers or habaneros.
- Toast the spices: Toasting the spices in a dry pan before grinding them enhances their flavor and aroma.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves add a brighter, more vibrant flavor to the curry paste.
- Grind the paste in batches: If you're using a small food processor, grind the ingredients in batches to ensure that they are evenly ground.
- Store the curry paste properly: Transfer the curry paste to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
