Title: Indian Malaysian Curry/Spice Pastes
Post by: DalPuri on May 06, 2013, 12:53 AM

Found these pastes quite interesting. Does he make them because of the climate or is it simply down to familiarity?
She has some nice videos going around the markets talking to stall holders about their produce. 
Worth a look.    http://www.youtube.com/user/siewmei1000/videos (http://www.youtube.com/user/siewmei1000/videos)

hmmmm, no thoughts?
I've never seen individual spices made up into pastes before so thought it worth sharing.
Could be useful for someone wanting to preserve the shelf life of their spices, because those Thai curry pastes last forever!  8)
I would assume mixing them with oil only and not water?  :-\

Sorry Frank, hadn't seen this until now.

It is interesting that they are made into individual pastes. I did think that this might be for preserving it longer but looking at the way he is working, I wonder if it's more to do with ease of portioning each spice.

I'm pretty sure his 'fenocrek' is panch phoran though.  8)
