*Servings 1/2 of cup

INSTRUCTIONS
- Start by crushing the coriander seeds, white peppercorn and cumin seeds in your food processor or spice grinder.

- Add all the ingredients (sans spices) to a food processor or a blender. Blitz to break down to crumbs.
- Add the spices and blend again until you achieve a creamy, smooth paste.
- Taste and adjust this curry paste as needed. Practically every ingredient can be adjusted; add less/more chilies depending on what heat you want, more lime for extra acidity and zing, salt – for saltiness, and ingredients like the garlic, shallots, and galangal can be adjusted to personal taste.
- Note* Remember though that the paste will be far more pungent then the final results at this point.
