Vegan Green Curry Paste

Bold, punchy, and leaving that sad store-bought garbage in the dust. This green curry paste brings straight FIRE with fresh chilies, makrut lime, and all the herby goodness. Bang it out in minutes, freeze a stash, and drop it into anything from tofu to stir-fries when you wanna flex some serious flavor.

Instructions

  1. Toast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and fenugreek seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant.
  2. Immediately transfer the toasted seeds into a mortar and pestle, blender, or spice ginger, and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Then grind into a fine powder.
  3. Remove the stems from the chilies and slice them. Combine the chilies, garlic, ginger, galangal, turmeric, scallions, cilantro, Thai basil leaves, lime leaves, and lemongrass in a blender food processor or mortar and pestle. Add the ground spices, sugar, lime juice, and salt.
  4. Process or pound the mixture for a couple of minutes until a smooth paste forms, scraping down the sides as needed. If necessary, add a very small amount of water to help blend.
  5. Use immediately,  store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze in 1 Tablespoon portions in an ice cube tray. Once the curry paste cubes are frozen solid, transfer them toasted freezer storage bag for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • 🌀 Blades of Glory:
  • 🌀
  • Thinly slice fibrous ingredients like lemongrass before blending. A splash of water helps things move without making your blender throw a tantrum.
  • 🔄 Blendasaurus Wrecks:
  • 🔄
  • A high-speed blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec makes this easy. That dusty thrift store find? It’s gonna tap out before the job’s done.
