Make lots and freeze it for future use. If you're not a fan of pounding you can use a food processor. Just don't overdo the processing. Green Curry Paste (Nam Prik Kaeng Khiew Wah) Place the cumin and coriander seeds in a pan, without adding any oil. Dry-fry them, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until they are aromatic and slightly browned. Pound them with the remaining ingredients to produce a fine paste.
