This blender green curry paste takes the traditional Thai flavor profile and makes it weeknight-friendly.

Toss fresh green chilies, fragrant lemongrass, galangal root, purple shallots, and a generous handful of cilantro into your blender with ground spices and a splash of oil.

Pulse to a smooth, vibrant paste that’s ready to transform coconut milk into restaurant-quality curry in minutes.

No mortar and pestle, no fuss, just bold Thai flavors that’ll make you wonder why you ever bought the jarred stuff.

Pro Tips

  • Oil helps blending: Add vegetable oil 1 tablespoon at a time if paste won’t come together
  • Fresh vs. ground: Combining fresh herbs with ground spices gives depth without extra prep
  • Storage secret: Press plastic wrap directly onto paste surface before refrigerating to prevent oxidation
  • Scale up: Double or triple the batch since it keeps for weeks and freezes beautifully
