This delicious green curry paste is now my go to staple! I love how fresh and spicy it is and such a breeze to whip up. I froze some of it to use later. Thanks, Nif! Made for ZWT9, team Gourmet Goddesses.

Wow...this curry paste was delicious and SPICY! Very quick and easy to make with lots of flavor. I will not be buying store bought curry paste again. I made a half recipe, but next time I will make a full recipe and freeze what I don't use. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. Made for ZWT9 SE Asia for The Apron String Travelers.
