Critical Success Points

  • Grinding dried chilies to a fine powder before adding wet ingredients.
  • Toasting and grinding dry spices separately to preserve flavor.
  • Pounding fresh aromatics until a smooth paste forms.
  • Incorporating shrimp paste evenly to avoid clumps.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the coffee grinder carefully; the blades are sharp.
  • Wear gloves or wash hands thoroughly after handling shrimp paste.
  • Be cautious when pounding hard roots like galangal to avoid splintering the mortar.
