How to Make Krung Gaeng Keo Wan Thai Green Curry Paste

  1. Combine the whole spices (coriander seeds, cumin seeds, white peppercorns, green peppercorns, lemongrass, chilies, galangal, ginger, and garlic) in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and grind to a fine powder.
  2. Add the ground spice powder, frozen krachai, serrano peppers, ground turmeric, ground white pepper, fish sauce, lime juice, and cilantro to a food processor.
  3. Process on high speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined into a smooth, evenly textured paste. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Add more chilies for extra heat, or lime juice for extra acidity. Add more fish sauce to taste.
  5. Transfer the paste to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
