Method : In a bowl mix the coconut, onion, garlic and ginger. Heat peanut oil in a wok or frying pan and fry the dried shrimp paste, crushing it with the frying spoon, for a minute or two on low heat. Add coconut mixture and fry on medium low heat, stirring constantly, until coconut is golden brown. Add coriander, cumin, salt, tamarind liquid or lemon juice and continue stirring and frying on very low heat until coconut is dry and crisp.
