Thai curry dishes are identified solely by their colors but as grouped Thailand has basically two types of curry: water-based and coconut milk-based. Generally water-based curry is sour curry often prepared with fish/meat. The sourness comes from tamarind but a little lime juice also works. You can have delicious water-based vegetable curry with or without meat, which is usually very spicy.

Thai coconut-based curries are numerous! Red, yellow, green, Panang and Masamam are the most well known curries. The key ingredients in Thai curry pastes are mostly wet and fragrant: fresh chilies, lemon grass, galangal, garlic, shallot, kaffir lime, cilantro roots, and shrimp paste.

I have tried to collect all basic paste recipes here as these are the basic start for any curry, you may have these pastes from market but home made are always unique.
