Krung Gaeng Keo Wan - Thai Green Curry Paste image

Gkrachai (lesser ginger or rhizome) is imported from Thailand in frozen pouches, and can be found in Southeast Asian markets. The color in this dish is achieved from the serranos, with the seeds included. Adjust the recipe according to your tastes. As written, the recipe will produce a very spicy paste. This curry paste will keep for at least a month in your fridge if stored in a nice air tight container.
