We make a lot of curry paste (and curry) in our house, I thought i'd share a pic of our biggest batch ever.
I needed a wooden spoon the size of a canoe paddle to stir it!
That's enough to make a curry for 1,600 people. Anyone hungry!?

We are making a spice mix for fish (we make around 6KG at a time!!:) - which is my normal curry paste but then adding tamarind, wholegrain mustard and curry leaves which gives that lemony taste which is nice with fish.

In the shop I can see dried curry leaves and fresh. The dried ones are easier to work with but what do you guys think when it comes to taste? Is it worth using the fresh ones?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone,

Here at the Shemin's household we are always trying to come up with innovative ways to use curry paste.
Try this one out! We have used our curry paste in the recipe (because it's the best in the world - watch out mrs Patak!;)haha.

You can use any one you want - tamarind spice, curry leaves and mustard are always great additions when using fish. Long live the curry!!!

Let me know what you think!
