Dry roast 1 tablespoon of coriander seeds, 2 cloves, and 4 peppercorns for 1 minute until fragrant and slightly colored.

Grind the roasted spices in a blender until finely ground.

Bruise the lemongrass and chop it into small pieces, then add it to the blender.

Add 5-6 cloves of garlic, 1 inch piece of ginger, 3 chopped green chilies, 1 chopped onion, 1/2 cup coriander leaves, 1/2 cup Thai basil, 1 big kaffir lime leaf, 1 teaspoon vinegar, and a little salt to the blender.

Grind all the ingredients into a fine paste, adding a little water if necessary.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and add about 5 tablespoons of the aromatic paste.

Cook the paste lightly for 1 minute.

Push the paste to one side of the pan and heat another tablespoon of oil to sauté the vegetables.

Add roughly chopped vegetables: red and green bell peppers, baby corn, and broccoli, and season with a little salt.

Pour in 2 cups of coconut milk, adding half first, and mix well.

In the remaining half of the coconut milk, add 1 teaspoon of cornflour to prevent splitting, then add it to the pan.

Let the curry cook for at least 2-3 minutes, adding a few kaffir leaves and more salt to taste.

Once the vegetables are tender and the curry is bubbling, turn off the heat.

Serve the curry with hot jasmine rice or plain steamed rice.
