Thai Green Curry Paste

Made this green curry paste for tonight's Thai green curry chicken. It is wise to make the portion enough for 2 times use. My hands are still hot and spicy after cutting and removing seeds from the chilies. While blending the herbs and spices, the smell of the curry paste is truly good. No wonder there are so many people out there love this dish.
