Healthy, because
If you're vegan and vegetarian, definitely try out this curry paste, as usually store-bought curry pastes contain animal by-products.
Even smarter
For the curry paste relatively many different ingredients are needed. So that you don't have to go through this effort before each use, you can also make a large amount of curry paste at once and then freeze the rest in portions.
