Step 1

Combine all ingredients except water in a powerful blender or food processor. I use my Vitamix because it makes the paste smoother.

Step 2

Blend to a fine paste, scraping down the sides as you go. Add the water as required to help it blend (you may not need any as the herbs and chilis have moisture).
