Shop bought green curry paste became unsatisfactory for me. So I decided to make green curry paste myself.

You can freeze the leftover green curry paste. Divide into small portions and put in a plastic bag to freeze. You can fry straight from the freezer when you use it next time.
- You can make the curry without lemongrass if you couldn't get hold of it.
- Thai curry is different from Japanese curry. It is runny like soup. Also, the flavor won't improve after resting it overnight unlike Japanese curry, so eat it right away. For 2 servings. Recipe by ai_yui

Make green curry paste with the ★ ingredients.

When it's smooth, the paste is done.

Roast the red pepper until the skin is blackened, and remove the skin. Slice thinly and put aside on a plate.
6

Cut the aubergine into large bite size chunks using a rolling cut. Cut the chicken into bite sizes.

Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil (not listed) in a wok. Heat until it starts smoking, then add the aubergine and stir fry until lightly brown.

Add chicken and stir fry.
