Ingredients

7 dried hot red chilies, about 2 to 3 inches in length

1 cup chopped shallots or onions

2 tablespoons fresh lemongrass, thinly sliced

8 cloves of garlic, chopped

1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and chopped

1/2 teaspoon white pepper powder

1 teaspoon curry powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 canned anchovies or 1/2 teaspoon shrimp paste

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Directions

Place the chilies in a small bowl with approximately 1/4 cup of hot water. Microwave the chilies in the water for 2 to 3 minutes, then let sit for 30 minutes. Place the softened chilies, along with the soaking liquid, in a blender with the rest of the ingredients. Blend, pushing down with a spoon or rubber spatula, until you have a smooth paste. Use immediately, or freeze in portioned chunks.
