Thai Curry Paste

Mamta Gupta

Main

You can make this paste in advance and keep it in the fridge.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, peeled and roughly chopped

  • 3-4 garlic cloves

  • 3-4 green chillies, stalk removed (use dry red chillies if you can't get green ones)

  • 1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and roughly chopped

  • A small bunch of coriander leaves with stalks. Some people use even coriander roots, but I find them too fibrous.

  • 1 tsp. of Serai (lemon grass) powder or a stalk of lemon grass or rind of one lemon or 2 lime leaves

  • 2 1/2 tsp. coriander powder

  • 1 tsp. cumin powder

  • 1 tsp. turmeric powder

  • 2 tsp. shrimp paste

  • Laos or galangal (like ginger) powder, if available.

  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 8-10 peppercorns

  • 1 tbsp. cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a blender and make into a paste. You may need to add a little more water, if it is too dry to blend.

  2. This amount of curry paste will be enough for approximately 1 kg. meat/chicken/vegetable curry.
