Vegetarian Red Curry Paste

Idea
This is a pure vegetarian red curry paste recipe that I made up from different places. Another thing, I made it less hot by replacing half the red chills by a red bell pepper.

Ingredients


1 Red Bell Pepper (one large)
10 Dried red chilis (soaked in water)
2tbsp coriander seeds (toasted)
1tbsp cumin seeds (toasted)
10 peppercorns (pref. white) toasted
8tbsp garlic chopped or paste
2tbsp ginger chopped (pref. galangal)
4tbsp lemon grass
1tbsp lime jest (jest of two limes) or pref. Kaffir leaves
1/2cup coriander leaves + stalk
1/2cup shallots chopped
Lime juice (of the two limes)

Method
  1. In the bottom of the mixer put the toasted spices and run it for a second.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients (except lime juice) and blend.
  3. Add the lime juice if it needs
  4. Store in the fridge
