"Since April 2008, I have been a vegetarian. I dont eat creatures...that's the easiest way to put it! :D
I still eat a small amount of dairy, but not very much.
I have been missing around here for a while, and hope to poke my head in a bit more often from now on...
I hope you enjoy my recipes..."

I got this made using fresh ginger root and ginger powder in place of the loas powder and Gkrachal. I did make it all in my vita mx starting with the dry ingredients following with the rest of the ingredients. Still have to cook with it. I`ll be back to let you know how great it is. — May 10, 2005 I just made this again to go along with the Thai reen curry chicken. Yummy!

Gkrachai (lesser ginger or rhizome) is imported from Thailand in frozen pouches, and can be found in Southeast Asian markets. The color in this dish is achieved from the serranos, with the seeds included. Adjust the recipe according to your tastes. As written, the recipe will produce a very spicy paste. This curry paste will keep for at least a month in your fridge if stored in a nice air tight container.
