Ganga<p>I bought a lot of galangal so turned it into a lovely paste, the same way that I do all my pastes - with salt and some vinegar. I do chilli pastes (red and green), coriander paste, garlic paste, ginger paste, .... and now, galangal paste.</p><p>The massaman curry (<a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/East" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>East</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ChandraPadmanabhan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChandraPadmanabhan</span></a>) is good but a little too sweet with sugar in the recipe's massaman spice paste and then sweet potato (with eggplant) added to the coconut/curry base. I'd leave the sugar out next time or use a different vegetable. The spice paste though is very good (but I'd add garlic too).</p><p>Time to tidy up and make some dinner. Luckily it is all cooked except the rice (dal, pickles, brown rice, sauteed eggplant with chickpeas).</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/CookingForTheWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CookingForTheWeek</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FromTheKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FromTheKitchen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WhatIAmCooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhatIAmCooking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WhatIAmEating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhatIAmEating</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Vegetarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vegetarian</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a></p>
