Cook's Notes:
It is well worth the energy of using a mortar and pestle. You can use a food processor or blender to puree 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.
