Thai Green Curry Paste Recipe
  1. If your spice tolerance isn't super high, remove the seeds and pith from some or all of the spicy chilies (Thai/serranos) to reduce the heat, then finely chop them. If you're not sure how much to remove, I recommend deseeding all of them and you can always add more chilies to the curry later if it isn't spicy enough. *You may want to wear gloves when working with chilies, or wash your hands very well and be careful not to touch your eyes afterwards!

  2. Grind the dry spices into a powder, then remove and set aside.

  3. Add all of the chilies and salt to the mortar and pound until mostly fine; if at any point the mixture feels too wet and slippery, add the dry spices to absorb excess moisture.

  4. Add the Thai basil leaves and pound into a fine paste.

  5. Add the lemongrass, galangal, makrut lime zest, and cilantro roots; pound into a fine paste.

  6. Add the shallots, garlic, and any remaining dry spices and pound into a fine paste.

  7. Add the shrimp paste and pound to mix.
