Garam Assam Paste Recipe(Nyonya Recipe) |
Ingredients A: |
350g sliced galangal 350g sliced lemon grass (use only the bottom white part) 280g candlenut 450g dried shrimp paste 700g fresh red chilies 1kg onions 40g turmeric powder 30g chili powder or dried chilies ground to a fine paste 700ml oil for frying |
Method: Grind or blend ingredients A to a very fine paste. Pound fresh chilies and onions separately into rough pieces. Combine everything and mix thoroughly until well-blended. Heat an aluminum or iron wok until very hot. Heat oil until smoking hot, add half of the mixture and fry over moderately high heat until oil bubbles through, stirring constantly to prevent paste burning. Add the rest of the paste and keep stirring. Lower heat and keep frying until paste is fragrant and almost dry. Cool completely before packing in 450g packets in plastic bags or containers. Store in freezer for future use. |
