My for processor is one of my most used kitchen tools but sometimes the urge to do things a bit more authentically and by hand. While it takes a bit longer, for me there is a sense of satisfaction that you don't get with a food processor. That and less dishes.Today I made a mild Thai curry paste. The smell of it as is slowly grinds down is amazing...ginger, sesame oil and lime. Luckily I had all the ingredients. The green chillies came from my garden.
I'll use some it in a chicken curry tonight and the rest will keep for a few weeks in the fridge.
