Date: Fri, 19 Apr 1996 12:20:50 -0700 From: "Colonel I. F. K. Philpott" <colonel@...> masaman is a mild hot and sour dish equivalent to the Indian vindaloo.

Prepare the dried red chiles. See recipe "prik kaeng phet".

Coarsely chop the chilis. Toast the dry seeds in a heavy iron skillet or wok, and grind them coarsely. Add all the ingredients to a food processor and process to a smooth paste. Place in tightly stoppered jars, and keep in the fridge for at least a week for the flavors to combine and develop before use.

See "Thai Curries (Help)" for information on Thai curry pastes.
