You can find Panang curry paste at most Asian markets and on Amazon. It is a mixture of red chilies and dried chilies and makes a killer curry. You can also buy fresh Thai Basil on Amazon. It ships fast is inexpensive and you get a lot. I cut up the basil when it arrives and freeze it in ice cube trays. It stays fresher longer and is easily added to curries and stocks.
