Ingredients
•  250g dried prawns, soaked and pounded finely
•  2 tbsp tamarind pulp combined with 100ml water (squeeze, then strain the tamarind juice)
•  4 stalks lemongrass, smashed
•  Oil for frying

Spice ingredients – blended
•  4 candlenuts
•  2cm piece fresh turmeric
•  2cm square piece shrimp paste
•  8 fresh red chilies
•  5-6 dried chilies, soaked and seeded
•  80g garlic
•  150g shallots

Seasoning
•  4-4½ tbsp sugar or to taste
•  ¾-1 tsp salt or to taste

Method
Heat a little oil in a wok and fry lemongrass until fragrant. Reduce the heat to low and add blended spice ingredients. Fry until the fragrant comes out.

Add dried prawns and continue to fry for a while. Mix in tamarind juice and fry over a low heat until mixture is almost dry. (Keep stirring while frying to prevent it from sticking to the base of the wok). Adjust seasoning to taste. Dish out and leave to cool completely.
