| This is one of my 'stock' bi-weekly meals. We enjoy it so
much and every time it is different. I am a fan of hot 'stuff', but the
following recipe may need toning down a little if you're a bit shy of chillies!
Use 2 tbsp of the paste to make your curry see:
The following recipe is for 2 people.

Thai Green Curry Paste
4 green chillies
4 roughly chopped spring onions - you don't have to chop em, but they sometimes get stuck in the food processor!
2 large garlic cloves
1 thumb's length of fresh ginger root, peeled and roughly chopped
1 stalk of lemon grass, peeled and roughly chopped
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp chilli oil
Deseed the chillies and roughly chop all the other ingredients. Place in a food processor or hand held chopping device. Whizz and blitz until everything goes green and all the ingredients are finely chopped. Finally add the chilli oil and give a quick blast, this just binds it and adds extra spice, if you're frightened of it just use plain vegetable oil.
This will keep for up to a week in the fridge, if you make too much ( you only need 2 tbsp for the curry ) then put the rest in a twist of cling film and use it next week!
