Ingredients

2 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp white peppercorns
15 g green Thai chilies or serrano peppers
15 g milder green chilies
see note 1
1 tsp coarse salt
15 Thai basil leaves
julienned, optional, see note 2
3 Tbsp thinly sliced lemongrass
from bottom half only
1 ½ Tbsp finely chopped galangal
2 tsp finely chopped makrut lime zest
or zest of half a lime
2 cilantro roots or 4 cilantro stems
finely chopped
3 Tbsp finely chopped shallots
2 Tbsp finely chopped garlic
1 tsp fermented shrimp paste
optional, see note 3

Directions

1
If your spice tolerance isn't super high, remove the seeds and pith from some or all of the spicy chilies (Thai/serranos) to reduce the heat, then finely chop them. If you're not sure how much to remove, I recommend deseeding all of them and you can always add more chilies to the curry later if it isn't spicy enough. *You may want to wear gloves when working with chilies, or wash your hands very well and be careful not to touch your eyes afterwards!
2
Grind the dry spices into a powder, then remove and set aside.
