Massaman Curry Paste:
Dry fry the spices until fragrant (3-5 min). Put aside. When cool, grind in a coffee grinder.
Remove the tough outer leaves and grassy top to the lemon grass.
Grind the garlic, onions and lemongrass in a food processor. Add the chilies and grind. Add the spices, salt and shrimp paste.

We make a huge quantity and store it in the refrigerator in a glass jar. Anytime we are short on time we just whip up a curry and serve it over brown rice. We routinely add whatever veggies we have into the curry too.
