    Most of the time my mantra is "if you can make it don't buy it" this looks wonderful but I think I will buy the red curry paste at my local Asian grocery. Thanks for sharing.I will be making the curry chicken.

    Just a note on the Thai bird Chile and Lemon Grass. Use only Red Thai Birds if you can't find use dried red peppese (arbol). On the Lemon Grass use only the bottom 4" or so of the inside stalk. Chop of the hard root and outer leaves.

    I'm not familiar with New Mexico Chili - does it add the the heat of the paste?
