Step 1

Grill or roast the shallots and garlic with skill on until soft and gently charred on outside (roughly 5 min). Leave to cool then peel.

Step 2

Meanwhile, slice ginger into thin pieces and julienne them. Slice lemongrass thin.

Step 3

Combine Ginger, lemongrass, chilies, cardamom pods, cloves, peppercorn, coriander and cumin seeds in a small dry skillet and toast over medium heat until fragrant, for 3 to 5 minutes tossing every 20-30 seconds so the spices don't burn; let cool.

Step 4

Remove the stem and seeds from the chilis and roughly break up.

Step 5

Gently crush pods and remove cardamom seeds from pods; discard pods.

Step 6

Grind spices in spice mill or with mortar and pestle.

Step 7

Put everything with remaining ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth.
