Pay attention to the level of heat when you buy your curry paste. If you end up with a paste that's too hot for you, you may be tempted to reduce the amount. Unfortunately, since the spices and flavor also come from the curry paste, you'll then end up with a bland dish. Rather take the effort to find a brand that makes mild red curry and be sure to use the full amount.
