Kerala Fried Onion Paste


Serves: 5
Total Calories: 225

Ingredients

1 cup Coconut Milk or store-bought
1/2 cup peanut oil
5 to 8 dried red chili peppers, such as chile de arbol, broken
2 large onions, coarsely chopped
5 cloves fresh garlic (large), peeled
6 to 8 quarter-size slices of peeled fresh ginger
15 to 20 fresh curry leaves

Directions:

1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat and fry the red chili peppers and the onion until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and curry leaves and fry until everything is well-browned, 3 to 5 minutes. (Reduce the heat if the browning occurs too quickly.)

2. Cool, drain, and reserve the oil for another purpose. Then transfer to a blender or a food processor, add the coconut milk and process to make a thick, smooth paste. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months.
