Basics

Method

De-seed the peppers, peel the garlic and the ginger. Roughly chop the peppers, garlic, ginger, chillies and lemon grass then place in a food processor with the other ingredients and blend together. It will never be totally smooth due to the nature of the ingredients but this will not affect the final flavour.
