I prefer to use peanut butter, partially because my fiancee is a huge fan of peanut butter so we always have a lot in the house. You can grind your own peanuts to make peanut butter, but we usually will get our peanut butter at Whole Foods or Berkeley Bowl, where they will grind it for you fresh (don't forget to bring your own container!). Most health food stores will also have fresh peanuts which they can ground for you.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon red curry paste
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Sugar to taste
Heat the oil in a wok. Add curry paste and turmeric, and stir often for 1 minute, till the turmeric incorporates into the curry paste. Add the peanut butter, coconut milk, water, fish sauce, lemon juice and sugar. Reduce the heat to low and stir constantly with a whisk or heat proof spatula for 3 minutes. As the mixture starts to come to a boil, remove from heat and continue to stir. Adjust the seasoning to get the blend of sweet, salty and spicy that you are looking for.
