Peel and roughly chop the garlic and ginger. Pop them in a small food processor. Roughly chop the chilli (for less heat, halve and scoop out the seeds and white pith). Add it to the ginger and garlic. Add 2 tbsp Thai red curry paste, 2 tbsp water and blitz to make a chilli curry paste. No food processor? Grate the garlic and ginger and finely chop the chillies, then stir everything together. Set aside.
