Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until pureed and thoroughly mixed together.
Keep in the refrigerator in a sealed container for no more than a week or divide mixture into 3 tbsp portions and freeze in ziplock bags for longer. As paste does not contain any sugar or salt, remember to season your curry dishes with sugar and fish sauce at the end.

Notes

Cilantro stems have a milder flavor than the leaves thus giving you less of a ‘soapy’ flavor, however, you need to make sure you washed them well.
