Homemade Red Thai Curry Paste

My surprise dinner after having been away in Kraków for five days was red Thai chicken curry and Kalli made the curry paste himself.

This is how the paste is made:

Blend the following: 3 shallots, 3 garlic cloves, one walnut sized piece of ginger peeled and chopped, one lime zested and juiced, 1 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tsp ground cumin, 2 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp ground black pepper, one lemon grass stalk roughly chopped.

Fry the paste in a bit of oil pour in one can of coconut milk. Add meat and desired vegetables. Cook for about ten minutes.

Serve with rice. The dish was delicious and the smell in the kitchen was fantastic while the curry being cooked.
