grind whole seeds in pestle and mortar, then blnd all together. You can use
a food processor for this part. It should be golden yellow and thick paste
like.

This is used in many ways...rub over chicken and barbecue, marinade fish
and warp in banana leaf and steam, add to rice porridge.

Add to: 300 gr chicken mince 3 lime leaves, three quarters cup grated
cocunut, 2 tspn palm sugar half tspn salt, 1 tbspn fried dried onion and
hald stick finely chopped lemon grass. kead until very sticky. Mold around
soaked bamboo satay sticks and charcoal grill.

this is chicken satay, not the kebabs that are sold for tourist
consumption.
