2-3 tablespoons oil
1 lemongrass stalk, white part only, bruised
4 fresh kaffir lime leaves
1 x 400g can reduced fat coconut milk
Fresh coriander leaves, to garnish
For the spice paste:
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
8-10 whole cloves
4 green cardamom pods
1-2 teaspoons ground coriander
1-2 tablespoons ground turmeric or 50g fresh turmeric, peeled
1 x 4cm piece fresh galangal or ginger, peeled
12 whole garlic cloves, peeled
5 fresh red chillies, seeds removed
2 medium onions, peeled and roughly chopped
8 raw cashew nuts
1 tablespoon light brown sugar

Method:
- For the spice paste, put all the ingredients into a blender and pulse to a smooth consistency, adding a little water if needed.
- Heat the oil in a large casserole pan or non-stick saucepan over moderate heat. Add the spice paste then cover and cook over a low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until reduced to a thick paste.
