Green Curry Paste [2]
15 fresh phrik ki nu (birdseye chilies ) up to, 30, chopped
10 cloves garlic chopped
1 teaspoon chopped galangal
1 tablespoon thinly sliced lemon grass
1/2 teaspoon zest of kaffir lime (ordinary lime ok)
1 teaspoon cilantro root chopped
5 white pepper corns
1 tablespoon roasted coriander seeds
1 teaspoon roasted cumin seeds
1 dash fish sauce
1 teaspoon fermented shrimp paste (kapi), up to 2
Mix in a mortar and pestle or food processor. Will keep about a month in a fridge. You can buy commercial green curry paste (mae ploy brand is quite good), but as far as I am aware all commercial pastes contain MSG and preservatives. Recipe By: Muoi Khuntilanont
