I love making a good thai curry, but I find having the necessary ingredients around for a truly good one a bit of pain. I can never just rustle one up without a trip to fairly large local shop. I mean, why bother if you're not going to dump in some lime leaves and lemongrass right?
I've inherited my mother's healthy fear/irritation/unwillingness to pay for pre-packaged and cut up ingredients. However, I am now officially in love with these frozen chopped up lime leaves and lemongrass. There's also chopped up garlic and shallots in the same line, and I've got them all in my freezer. For £1.20 or so it's really worth it, considering I never get through fresh lemongrass before it goes soggy in my fridge and I've paid at least that.
