Real Thai Green Curry Paste (Nam Prik Gen Kayo Wan) image

This is a green curry paste recipe from central Thailand that incorporates the Indian spices of the South and the fresh herbs from the North. This recipe will make a bulk curry paste that will keep for a few weeks in the refrigerator and make several batches of curry. Fresh curry paste always makes your curries taste better than premade pastes that contain preservatives.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this paste is still really good. I just use a little less of it when I make my curry.
