Inspired by Thai flavours, this paste is best used within a day of being made.

Ingredients

  • 12 cloves garlic
  • 2 small red chillies
  • 2 tiny green bird

Method

Chop the garlic and chillies and pound in a mortar and pestle with the coriander root, ginger, grachai and peppercorns to make a rough paste. Add the oil and continue to pound until the paste becomes smooth. A blender can be used but this will give the paste a different texture.
