Method:
Wash and drain spinach after cutting
into 5 cm lengths. Add 1 rice bowl of water to grated coconut
and squeeze for first milk. Add another 4 rice bowls of water to
the grated coconut and squeeze for second milk. Set aside.
Pound chilies, dried prawns (shrimps), shallots, turmeric and shrimp
paste. Heat a frying pan. Add oil. When oil is hot,
fry pounded ingredients until fragrant. Add in half of the
second coconut milk, spinach and salt to taste. Bring to boil.
Add in the rest of the second coconut milk. Cover and simmer for
about 20 minutes. When spinach is soft enough, pour in first
coconut milk. Bring to boil again and turn off heat quickly.
Serve.
