Recipe for Goan Red Curry Masala Paste without Coconut
A Red Curry masala paste without Coconut can be used for Beef, Mutton, Chicken and Pork. If you are a Spice freak like me(and most Goans) you MUST try this Hot and Tangy Masala. This recipe quantity can be used for 1kg meat.
Ingredients
12 Kashmiri Chillies(Use only Kashmiri Chilly because any other Chilly is usually much spicier and will not give you this vibrant Red colour. it might turn Brownish)
1 Green Cardamom
12 Pepper corns
10 Cloves
1 inch piece Cinnamon
1 Tspn Cumin Seeds
4 Garlic cloves
½ Onion roughly chopped
½ Tomato roughly chopped
1 Tbspn Vinegar
1 Tspn Jaggery or Sugar
Water for grinding
Instructions
Transfer all the ingredients into a small(dry)mixer jar
Using water little by little, Grind all the ingredients into a smooth fine paste. Note: If you add all the water at once, the spices won’t break down completely and the Masala will remain coarse.
Once the Masala is ready, you can use it immediately or If you wish to store it, transfer the Masala into a dry Airtight container and wait until it completely cools and comes to room temperature and only then put the lid onNote: As soon as you grind masala in a mixer jar, it remains slightly hot/warm due the pressure and speed of the grinder. After transferring the Masala into the jar/container, If you close the jar/container when the masala is hot or even slightly warm, there is a high chance that the masala get spoilt faster due to the heat. Hence, let it come down to room temperature and only then close the lid tightPlace the container/jar into the Deep Freezer and you can store it for Maximum 1month.
