Ingredients

1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon white peppercorns 
6 long green chillies, roughly chopped (seeds optional) 
2 eschalots, sliced 
6 garlic cloves
1 inch piece galangal, sliced
1 small bunch coriander roots and stems, roughly chopped and leaves kept for later
1 lemongrass stalk, finely sliced
1 inch piece lime rind
1 teaspoon dried shrimp paste 
1 tablespoon water 

Curry 
3-4 tablespoon fresh green curry paste 
400g chicken breast, thinly sliced
600ml coconut milk 
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon coconut sugar 
1x 225g tinned bamboo shoots, drained and rinsed
2 medium zucchinis, chopped 
4 kaffir lime leaves, thinly sliced
1 small handful snowpeas, trimmed
1 lime
Fresh coriander leaves 
2 cups of rice, rinsed and cooked

Method

1.   Toast the whole spices lightly until fragrant. Blend them on nut mode for around 30 seconds or until roughly ground. 
2.   Add the rest of the paste ingredients to the blender jug and blend on smoothie mode for a further 30 seconds to form a smooth paste.
3.   To make the curry, heat a tablespoon of oil in a frypan and add half of the fresh curry paste (around 3 tablespoons). Cook gently for a few minutes until fragrant, but not burnt. Store the remaining paste in a Luvele vacuum canister for another time. 

4.   Add the coconut milk and simmer over medium heat for around 5 minutes before adding the fish sauce and coconut sugar.
5.   Add the bamboo shoots and zucchini and simmer for a couple of minutes. Add the kaffir lime leaves and chicken and allow to simmer until just cooked through. 
6.   Add the snowpeas and gently cook for a further 2 minutes. Finish with a generous squeeze of lime juice and fresh coriander. 
7.   Divide the rice and curry between 4-5 Luvele vacuum canisters and allow to cool slightly before placing the lid on. Use the hand pump to seal in freshness before storing them in the fridge.
