Before jumping to the recipe please note that the below information contains HOT TIPS for this recipe. We try and answer all your questions to guarantee a perfect keto recipe every time.
Having the basics like a great Thai Red Curry Paste recipe can save you so much money and the flavour difference…. oh yes!
It’s no secret that I love a bit of a good curry from any origins. This low carb keto curry paste can be ready in minutes. Make it in bulk and freeze and save money and time later.
All the red curry paste ingredients are easily sourced from the supermarket in fact you could have them all in your pantry now.
Ingredients Needed
Let’s have a quick look at the ingredients that go into this simple keto curry recipe.
100g onions
3 cloves garlic
60g coconut oil or avocado oil
1 tsp grated ginger or galangal
1 tbsp lemongrass, I cheat and buy it in a tube so it is always in my fridge. You can get it from most supermarkets.
2 coriander/cilantro stalks and roots. Scrape the roots with a knife to remove the “dirty” surface of the root and then chop the stems and stalk. Reserve the leaves to serve with a keto Thai red curry.
3 kaffir lime leaves. If unavailable substitute zest of half a lime.
Spices. Coriander, paprika, salt and pepper.
Dried Chillies. Use what you can find. I always have plenty around due to growing so many. If you don’t like hot deseed the chillies or reduce the amount and add some capsicum/bell pepper.
How To Make Thai Red Curry Paste
I have included both a conventional and Thermomix® Red Curry Paste recipe method. To be honest you can mix it by hand, with a stick mixer, food processor or the methods in the recipe card. Just mix until you have a smooth curry paste.
This recipe can be doubled, tripled or made in bulk. It can also easily be stored in the fridge and or the freezer. I love to freeze in individual portions then store in a ziplock bag in the freezer for when I need to use it.
Always be careful working with chillies to not scratch your eyes or face before washing your hands. Trust me! I have had a few teary moments in the kitchen.

The very best low carb keto butter chicken recipe you are going to love it! So easy and a dish big on flavour.
Hi Megan – only have 2 dried chillies – to sub with dried chilli flakes – how many teaspoons/tablespoons would that be?
Hi Helen, just add what you would prefer. Chillies really depend on the heat factor and the tolerance of those about to eat them.
What exactly is one serving size? Is there a weight or yielded amount I can expect to use when measuring for recipes?
This is a very easy curry paste to make . I like it better than the supermarket versions as you know exactly what is going into it .
Curry in a hurry for a quick meal that is packed full of flavour.
Get onto making this curry paste if you haven’t tried it yet .
Great recipe Megan
This paste is nice and tangy and very tasty. Better to make your own.
