Instructions: Method for Thai Green Curry PasteTo prepare the lemongrass, we will first have to trim away and discard any root section below the bulb base. We will also now remove the dried part of the root until we reach a stage we know that the root cuts easily and is tender. We don't use the leaf part of the lemon grass for the curry paste, you can use it for flavoring a tea or a soup.Continue the same procedure for the remaining lemon grass stalks.Add all the ingredients for the paste into a blender and a little bit of water. Cover the blender and grind the mixture. After a few seconds of grinding, open the blender and stir to combine the ingredients and if required add a little more water to grind into a smooth paste.Method to make the Thai Green CurryNext we will proceed to make the Thai Curry with this paste.
