    Homemade Thai Green Curry Paste

    Thai green curry is one of the most popular and iconic Thai dishes.

    You can find it almost anywhere they serve Thai food and you can also find the ingredients more easily.  It isn't always inherently healthy though.  If you want to really control what you eat you're better off making everything you can yourself.

    Perhaps the greatest strength of our content is the fact that you can make it yourself almost 100% of the time.  That means you can control what you put in it and know how natural it is.  When you make it from scratch you can always adjust the sodium, sugar and fat content as desired.

    The pastes and sauces are often the culprits when you opt for pre-made options.  They often if almost always contain too much sodium and the sauces too much sugar.  Mod came up with this version of a Thai green curry paste to get around that.

    Ingredients:

    • 20 Thai green chili
    • 4 0z. shallots sliced
    • 15 garlic cloves sliced
    • 2 tsp finely chopped galanga
    • 2 tablespoon lemongrass sliced
    • 1 tsp chopped kaffir lime leaves
    • 2 teaspoon cilantro stem chopped
    • 10 black pepper whole
    • 2 tablespoon pan roasted coriander seeds
    • 2 tsp pan roasted caraway seeds
    • 2 tsp salt
    • 2 tsp shrimp paste

      Green Curry Paste Ingredients

    Instructions:

    1. Add Thai green chili and salt in a mortar, crush them together with a pestle.
    2. Add galanga, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves in the mortar and smash everything.
    3. Put garlic cloves, shallots, and cilantro stems in and breaks everything into very small pieces.
    4. Throw black pepper, roasted coriander seeds, roasted caraway seeds, and shrimp paste in the mortar and smash all the ingredients together until you get a smooth paste.
    5. You can use a blender to make the paste as smooth as you like.

    One of the instructors at the college I am attending said she freezes her natural curry pastes in ice trays.  You can make the equivalent of 1 tablespoon in each and just defrost it before you cook.  There are no preservatives so this is safer than just refrigeration.

    Yield about 14-16 tbsp

    As always, we do our best to make all our Thai recipes as healthy as possible and we deviate a little from some of the traditions.  We also may not cover every aspect for every person so if you have special considerations for your diet always consult with your specialist or doctor.  When in doubt, check it out!  And let us know your thoughts in the comments section at the bottom.  Share and rate if you love us. It all helps.  🙂
