This recipe uses just ground coriander but feel free to add a bit of fresh coriander as well for a bit of extra flavour and a burst of colour.

Ground Coriander: Coriander is a great flavour in Thai paste and so I don't recommend that you substitute or leave it out. If not, ginger paste, jarred ginger or standard fresh ginger is just fine. Ginger: If you can get hold of galangal (Thai ginger) then definitely use that here. If you would prefer no spice at all then just replace the chillies with red bell pepper (capsicum). Use the smaller, thinner finger chillies for extra heat or use the larger red chillies for a milder flavour. For Thai red Curry paste, red chillies are required. So if you like it spicy then use hotter chillies. Red chillies: The chillies used here will ultimately determine how hot your curry is.
