3 Dried chilies 1 tb Coriander seeds
3 tb Chopped shallots 1 ts Cumin seeds
2 tb Chopped garlic 5 Peppercorns
1 ts Chopped galangal 1 ts Shrimp paste

Soak dried chilies in hot water for 15 minutes and deseed. In a wok
over low heat put the shallots, garlic, galangal, lemon grass,

then grind into a powder (with mortar and pestle). Into a blender,
put the rest of the ingredients except the shrimp paste and blend to
mix well. Add the shallot-garlic-galangal-lemon grass-clove-coriander

obtain 1/2 cup of a fine-textured paste. This can be stored in a
glass jar in the refrigerator for about 3-4 months.
