Thai Green Curry Paste

Recipe from this site. It's yielding 1 jar, enough for 1 big curry. But for me, I kept it frozen and can be used for 3 small curries.

• 1 stalk lemongrass, minced
• 1-3 green chilies, sliced
• 1 shallot, sliced
• 4-5 cloves garlic
• 1 thumb-size piece of galangal OR ginger, thinly sliced
• 1 compressed cup chopped fresh coriander leaves & stems
• 7-8 kaffir lime leaves
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp. ground white pepper
• 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
• 3 Tbsp. fish sauce
• 1 tsp. shrimp paste
• salt
• 2 Tbsp. lime juice
• 1 tsp. brown sugar
• 3-4 Tbsp. coconut milk (enough to blend ingredients together)

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor, chopper, or blender.
2. Process well to form a fragrant Thai green curry paste. You curry paste is now ready for use.
