Curry paste - prig gang

Traditionally, every household makes their own curry pastes. But, nowaday, it is easier to buy them. From the picture of pales of curry pastes, you can see how much the Thais enjoy curry pastes.

Whenever I visit Thailand I would buy a kilo or two and bring it home with me. Then I'd put into smaller bags and freeze them. I have fresh supply of curry pastes for years to come. I'm not kidding you -- the frozen curry paste keep fresh for a long time.

If you are not visiting Thailand in the near future and in need of curry pastes, I recommend the one that comes in a plastic container. Inside the plastic container, you'll see vacuum packed curry. I think that it is fresher and tastes better than the canned one.
