Mummy was making a batch of pastes yesterday, so I had an impromptu lesson in Garam Assam, which is the base for Buah Keluak and Kuah Nanas...
Garam Assam Spice Mix
12 cm length of galangal (lengkuas), chopped
2 pieces of tumeric, each 5-6 cm long, chopped
Small handful of dried chili, soaked in hot water and chopped
5-6 candlenuts, chopped
18 shallots, chopped
4 sticks of lemongrass, chopped
2 whole garlic, chopped
4-6 tbsp of water
- Place all the chopped ingredients in a food processor, and blend into a fine paste. Add a few tablespoons of water if the mixture is too dry for the blender.
- The above quantity is enough for 2 whole chickens. The mixture can be divided into 4 portions and frozen for use later.
