Ingredients

• 1 stalk lemongrass (for complete instructions, see below)

• 2 Tbsp. corriander seeds, toasted and pounded with pestle & mortar (or ground in a coffee grinder)

• 2 Tbsp. fish sauce (available at Asian grocers), or Vegetarian fish sauce (available at Vietnamese stores), OR soy sauce

• 1 tsp. shrimp paste (if vegetarian, substitute one additional Tbsp. vegetarian fish sauce)

• 1 tsp. Palm sugar

• 1-2 green chillies, seeded (or seeds left in if you like it very hot)

• 3 cloves garlic

• 1 thumb-size piece of galangal (or ginger), peeled and sliced

• 3-4 kaffir lime leaves, fresh or frozen (look for these in the freezer at your Asian grocer)

• 1 cup fresh coriander (cilantro), include both leaves and stems

• 1 tsp. dark soy sauce

• 1 cup Thai basil

Directions

Prepare the lemongrass: remove the tough outer leaves, cut off the bulb, thinly sliced the tender portions -- about two thirds of the stalk.

Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Process until a smooth paste is formed. If the mixture is too thick for the food processor, and a little bit of coconut milk.

To use the paste, fry it with a little coconut oil until fragrant. Then add coconut milk plus your meat, seafood and/or vegetables.

This can be stored in your refrigerator for up to two weeks.

I love Thai curry! I have to admit I usually buy the store made sauce. Thank you for posting the recipe here, now I can make my own. Got my 5! P.S. Great tips on freezing the lemongrass and the galangal - didn't know that!
