1. Make the paste. Dry-fry the spices, then grind in a mortar and pestle. Put in a blender, add the remaining paste ingredients and black pepper. Blitz for 5 minutes, until smooth. Set aside.
2. Warm some oil in a large pan over a low heat. Add 40g curry paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Add the coconut milk, boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
