BASIL LEMONGRASS CURRY RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add chopped lemongrass, basil, 1 shallot, garlic, ginger, ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and brown sugar to a food processor. Blend until a paste forms. (If difficult to combine, add 1 tbsp water to the mix and blend again).

Let the curry paste bloom for 1 minute. Then add in the remaining chopped shallots and sauté until softened (2 minutes, approximately).
• Pour in both cans of coconut milk and stir until combined. Cover and let curry reduce over medium heat for 20 minutes. Stir every so often. Season with salt and pepper.
• While the curry simmers, prepare the meat and vegetables you will be using as desired.
• Once the coconut curry has reduced and become thicker, begin assembling your dish. Pour the curry over a bed of rice, and top with any proteins and vegetables.
