You need to have a few different ingredients - and this is what makes your green curry green.
The fresh coriander and the leaves are green and give the curry that instantly recognisable colour.
To get your curry paste right, you need a blender. This hand blender is perfect for making sauces, but you can also use it to makes soups as well as cakes.
You don't need to make the paste in the minutes leading up to dinner time.
Homemade Thai curry paste is okay to be made in advance, and it will keep in the fridge for up to a week, or you can freeze it for up to 3 months.
