How to make curry paste
Peel and toast any ginger, garlic, onions, or shallots.
When these ingredients are among those called for in the recipe, you should peel off the outer skin, roughly chop the ingredient into chunky pieces, and toast those pieces on the stove.
To peel the ingredients: peel ginger by gently scraping the skin off with a spoon.
Peel garlic by striking the clove with the flat side of your knife. The skin should completely separate from the clove.
