HOMEMADE GREEN CURRY PASTE
In food processor or blender combine 1 large onion, chopped; 2 stalks lemon
grass, tender white portion thinly sliced; 1/4 cup water; a 2-inch section
peeled, chopped fresh ginger; 1/2 cup cilantro; 3 fresh serrano chile peppers,
seeded (see Note); 4 cloves garlic, minced; 2 teaspoons curry powder; 1 teaspoon
five-spice powder; and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cover; process or blend until smooth.
Note
Because hot chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and
eyes, avoid direct contact with chiles as much as possible. When working with
chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands touch the
peppers, wash your hands well with soap and water.
