Ingredients

Servings
  • 0.20 ounces salt
  • 1.70 ounce lemongrass
  • 1 ounce galangal
  • 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
  • 0.07 ounces black peppercorns
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 0.20 ounces kaffir lime zest
  • 0.20 ounces Turmeric
  • 1 ounce chilies see notes
  • 0.7 ounces shrimp paste
  • 0.35 ounces coriander root
  • 1.80 ounce garlic
  • 1.80 ounce shallot

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice everything to make pounding easier and faster.
  2. Lightly roast the black peppercorns, coriander seeds, and cumin in a dry pan to release their aromas.
  3. Use a mortar and pestle to pound salt, lemongrass, galangal, and the toasted spices. Crush them until they form a fine mixture.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients and keep pounding until you achieve a smooth, cohesive paste.

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • I used spicy Thai Jinda chilies, available at most Asian grocery stores. If you like a mild green curry paste, try adding green cayenne peppers, jalapeños, or other mild green chilies and reduce the amount of spicy chilies used in this recipe.
  • This recipe yields 8.4 oz of curry paste, you can store it for later use.
