The main ingredients are garlicshallots, (dried) red chili peppersgalangalshrimp pastesaltkaffir lime peel, coriander root, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, peppercornsand lemongrass. Common additives are fish sauce, sugar, Thai eggplantbambooshoots, thai basil (bai horapha), and meat such as chickenbeefporkshrimpfrog,snake or duckTofu, and meat analogues or vegetables such as pumpkin, can be substituted as a vegetarian option. This dish normally has a soup-like consistency and is served in a bowl and eaten with steamed rice. The standard red curry paste contain sshrimp paste, which renders it inappropriate for vegetarians. There are, however, vegetarian red curry pastes available.
        Red curry paste itself is the core flavouring for a number of other non-related dishes such Thot man pla (fish cakes) and sai ua (grilled Chiang Mai sausage).

Recipe of Red Curry Paste ( Nam Phrik Kaeng Daeng )

Curry paste in the mortar before the shrimp paste is added
Prepare this authentic Thai curry paste to make our family's Thai Red Curry recipe. Freeze any leftover paste up to 2 months in a zip lock bag, in tablespoon size portions, making it easy to add to future curries as needed.
Ingredients

1 Tablespoon + 1 tsp. coarse sea salt
1 heaping Tablespoon (200 grams) garlic cloves
1 pc lemongrass, lower part sliced thinly crosswise
(discard top)
3/4 inch pc of fresh turmeric root (or 1/2 tsp dried)
1 Tablespoon shrimp paste

Curry paste ingredients - note the basil is used in final dish not for making the paste

Preparation


Pulverize in a granite mortar and pestle the dried chillies, sea salt, garlic, lemongrass and turmeric to a fine paste. Blend in the shrimp paste with a spoon. Set aside.

Recipe of Red Curry ( Nam Phrik Kaeng Daeng )
 
Ingredients
1 cup chicken (in smallish bite sized pieces) 
½ cup of coconut milk
½ cup makhua puang (Thai eggplant - these are small round eggplants)
3 tablespoons red curry paste (see below)
2 tablespoons nam pla (fish sauce) 
1 tablespoon sweet basil 
1 tablespoon palm sugar
2 kaffir lime leaves (or a little lime zest)
 
Instructions
Cut the chicken up, then briefly fry the curry paste until fragrant, reduce the heat, add the coconut milk slowly, and continue to stir whilst cooking until a thin film of oil apppears on the surface. Skim off the oil, and discard it. Add the chicken and other ingredients except the eggplant. Bring to a boil and cook until the chicken begins to change colour. Adjust the flavors to suit yourself. When it is at a boil again add the eggplant and continue till thechicken is cooked through. Serve with steamed white Jasmine rice. 

The Thai name of this dish literally means "hot red chicken curry".There is a very similar recipe for a green curry (Gaeng Khiao Wan Kai). Thoughin Thai restaurants in the west, green curry is often the hottest style of curry, as the name indicates, this red curry is generally the hottest inThailand. If you reduce the amount of curry paste to ameliorate the heat, theresulting dish will lose its red coloration. To offset this you can add a littletomato paste to the mixture.
