  • 1 tsp shrimp paste optional
  • ¼ tsp peppercorns
  • 2 stalk of lemon grass white part only
  • 5-10 large green chillis roughly chopped (depending on spice preference, for a milder curry deseed the chillis) (if you like a hot curry, add 1 or 2 green birdseye chilli too!)
  • 4 cloves of garlic peeled
  • 180 g shallots peeled (the small brown ones)
  • 30 g galangal or ginger peeled, sliced into thin round coins
  • 4 kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 25 g coriander roots and stalks/leaves
  • 80 g coconut oil or preferred oil

Instructions

  • Toast cumin, coriander, shrimp paste for 5 min/100°C or 212°F/speed 1.
  • Add the rest of the paste ingredients and blend for 15 sec/speed 9/MC on.
  • Scrape bowl down, add 20 g | 0.7 oz water and blend for 20 sec/speed 6/MC on. Scrape bowl down and repeat 3 times.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, omit the shrimp paste.
