How To Make Thai Green Curry Paste

Thai food has been one of my favourite dishes. The food is normally hot and has a blend of sweet and sour to it as well. In cooking Thai food, one must have some basic ingredients like the small green chillies, palm sugar, fish sauce, basil or lemongrass which is normally added in most dish. But that also depends on the type of dish which may omit some of those ingredients. I have one simple Thai curry paste recipe that you can try at home. You can cook it with beef, chicken or prawns and eat it with rice.
Ingredients
10-12 fresh green chillies, seeded
3 tbsp chopped lemon grass
1 tbsp chopped galangal
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic
1 stalk coriander (roots and stems included), chopped coarsely
8 black peppercorns, cracked
1/2 tbsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp belacan granules (optional)
1/2 tsp ground cloves
2 bay leaves, crushed
1/2 tsp salt
1 to 2 tbsp oil

Methods
Blend all the ingredients in an electric blender until smooth. Add a little extra oil if necessary. Keep ingredients refrigerated in a clean container until needed.
