Cook's Notes: It is well worth the energy of using a mortar and pestle. You can use a food processor or blender to purée the ingredients into a paste, but keep in mind they can oxidize the ingredients, muddying the flavor. Use 2 to 3 tablespoons of the curry paste in your curry, depending on how spicy you like it.
