1. 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.
2. Into a blender, put the rest of the ingredients except
the shrimp paste and blend to mix well. Add the coriander-cumin
seed miniature and the shrimp paste and blend to obtain 1/2
cup of a fine-textured paste.
3. This can be stored in a glass jar in the refrigerator for
about 3-4 months.
