Directions
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. Add the coriander-cumin seed mixture and the shrimp paste and blend to obtain ½ cup of a fine-textured paste.
This can be stored in a glass jar in the refrigerator for about 3 to 4 months.
