Equipment

Ingredients

From Pantry

¾ cup Coconut milk
2 tablespoon Soy sauce for Gluten or Wheat Free version use Tamari instead
3 tablespoon Lemon Juice 3 tbs or more depending on taste

Spices

2 tablespoon Sugar
2 tablespoon Coriander Seeds
1 tablespoon Cumin Seeds
2 tablespoon White Peppercorns

Produce

100 g Lemon Grass 3 stalks chopped
20 g Green Thai Chilies This will make mild spicy paste, adjustbfor your spice lvl.
150 g Shallots 3 medium size chopped
10 g Garlic 4 to 6 cloves based on taste
100 g Galangal three thumb size pieces; if you not able to find galangal then use ginger instead
75 g Cilantro 3 cups chopped leaves and stems
50 g Basil 2 cup loosely pack

Instructions

Put all the ingredients in the blender.
Blend till you get a fine paste and you are done.
If you feel like, you can taste the curry and personalize it according to your taste by adjusting the spices. Remember, this is not cooked, so it is going to taste little strong. Now you can use this curry past in your dish or you can store it for future use, like I do.
Freeze these and then whenever you need Thai green curry flavors, simply pop a few cubes and use them.

Notes

Above quantity of ingredients will be enough to make curry paste for 3 - 4 batches for a family of four. Most of the Thai curry pastes available in stores use fish sauce or shrimp paste as one of the ingredients. You are welcome to use it also, if you prefer. I have not used it to keep the dish vegetarian.
