When the coconut milk is boiling, then add the ground spices made from 30 shallots, 15 garlic cloves, 4 pieces of galangal, 3 pieces of ginger, and 40 pieces of red chili. Also add 3 tablespoons of roasted coriander, 1 tablespoon of roasted pepper, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 nutmeg. To make it even more delicious, add 2 tablespoons of Minang spices.
