What's the difference between curry powder and curry paste?
Thai cooking uses curry pastes, usually in red, yellow or green. They are made up of chilis and spices and vary in hotness. I like them all and usually buy a set of all three to have in the pantry for quick Thai style curry dishes like this one. Curry powder is used in Indian cooking and the spices are the dry spice blend with turmeric usually as the main ingredient.
