Entered for safe-keeping, since jarred laksa curry paste can be hard to find. This came from New Zealand Womans Weekly magazine. This goes together quickly in a food processor. Once the paste is made, add your choice of fish or meat or vegetables, stock, cooking yogurt or a can of coconut cream, and your Laksa Soup is ready for dinner. This is spicy.
