Description
A curry paste of dried yellow chillies (prik leung or dried yellow spur chillies), fresh turmeric, shallots, garlic, and lemongrass — producing a paste whose colour is a vivid, warm yellow from the turmeric and the yellow chilli. Yellow curry is the mildest of the Thai curry pastes in heat and the most accessible to palates unfamiliar with Thai chilli intensity. Its aromatic profile is less complex than red or green — the turmeric provides an earthy depth, the yellow chilli a mild, sweet-mellow heat, and the lemongrass a bright aromatic top note.
