This is a classic Indian green spice blend (from Goa) that can be used as a basis for a curry or even for chutneys and pickles. This is also, probably, the antecedent of Caribbean green seasonings.

1 small piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1 garlic clove, sliced
4 fresh green chillies, halved lengthways
1 small bunch of fresh coriander, stalks removed

Method:

Combine all the ingredients in a mortar and pound to a paste with a little water.
