Ingredients

2 tbsp Red Chile Powder (preferably Thai red chile powder)
1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
1 tbsp Ground Coriander
2 tsp Ground Cumin
2 tsp Ground Ginger
2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Onion Powder
2 tsp Lemongrass Powder
1 tsp Ground White Pepper
1½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Ground Turmeric (optional)
½ tsp Finely Grated Dried Lime Zest
¼ tsp Bay Leaf Powder

Directions

Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl or a plate.
Mix well until everything is perfectly blended.
Use as needed or store the seasoning in an air-tight, clean glass spice contain

Notes

Use it as a dry rub by sprinkling 1–2 teaspoons per pound on chicken, pork, tofu, or vegetables before cooking. To make a quick curry sauce, bloom 1 tablespoon of the mix in a tablespoon of oil, then add ½ to 1 cup of coconut milk and simmer for a flavorful Thai red curry. It also works beautifully as a flavor booster in soups, stir-fries, or marinades.
Store the seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to maintain its bold character. For optimal aroma and potency, use within 6 months.
