Kap Khun Kha - Authentic Thai Green Curry

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
