Add salt to taste, 1 inch piece of ginger or galangal cut into chunks, and 4 cloves of garlic.

Include 2 green chilies and 5 to 6 kaffir lime leaves, tearing them up roughly.

Add 1 teaspoon of white peppercorns and 1 inch piece of jaggery or palm sugar.

Incorporate 2 tablespoons of fresh cumin powder and 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce.

Add a handful of coriander stalks or stems and a handful of fresh coriander leaves.

Place all ingredients in the jar of a blender.

Blend the ingredients until they are slightly crushed to make a smooth paste, adding oil as required to achieve the desired consistency.

Once blended, check the consistency and adjust if necessary.

The green curry paste can be used immediately or stored in an airtight container in the freezer with a thin layer of oil on top.
