It was my long time wish to try something from south east asian country such as Thailand,mainly because they always include a lot of aromatic herbs and leaves in their cuisine.As we can see there are many similarities in the cuisine of our neighbouring countries and ours.I liked one recipe of a simple thai curry and for that you need to make a green paste.I later learnt that with this green paste you can not only make a curry but a variety of dishes as well.So I thought of posting a separate recipe for my blog of this delicious, aromatic and flavourful paste which can be made in no time.And the good part is you can store it in fridge for more than 10 days.I will post a green thai curry later and other recipes in the near future.So here goes the easy Thai Green Curry Paste recipe..
