This is the classic curry paste for green Thai curries and is essential if you want those authentic Thai flavours. It’s quite easy to adapt this to your own taste by adding more lemongrass, lime leaves and/or chillies. My wife and I like it spicy so we double up on the chillies. I like lime myself, so add more lime juice and a couple of thin strips of pared lime zest.
Ingredients:
1 lemongrass stalk, tough outer leaves discarded, finely chopped
1 lime, juiced
1 tsp ground coriander
4-6 green chillies, deseeded if you prefer less heat, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
thumb-sized piece of galangal, peeled and chopped
3 small shallots, peeled and chopped
3 lime leaves, finely shredded
½ small bunch of coriander, finely chopped
1 tsp shrimp paste
3 tbsp vegetable oil
Method:
Making this is simplicity itself. Just turn all the ingredients into a small food processor and blend until smooth. Add another tbsp of oil, if needed, to combine.
You can freeze any leftover paste for another time. Personally, I tend to make a double or triple batch and freeze the extra in portions for use later.
