Directions
Soak dried chilies in hot water for 15 minutes and deseed.
In a wok over low heat, put the coriander seeds and cumin seeds and dry fry for about 5 minutes, then grind into a powder.
Into a blender, put the rest of the ingredients except the shrimp paste and blend to mix well.
Then add the coriander seed-cumin seed mixture and the shrimp paste and blend again to obtain about ¾ cup of a fine-textured paste.
