Prep: 20 minutes | Cook: 15 minutes

1.

Add all the paste ingredients into a food processor and blend to form a thick smooth paste or chop all the paste ingredients very finely and mix to blend.

2.

Heat the oil to very hot in a wok and stir fry the beans and baby corn for 40 seconds.

3.

Add the curry paste and then the coconut milk and bring to the boil.

4.

Turn down the heat slightly and simmer the curry for 5-7 minutes to reduce the consistency.
