Cuisine: thai

Ingredients

  • rice
  • lime leaves optional
  • galangal slices optional
  • lemongrass optional

Instructions

  • Dry roast rice on medium-high heat.
  • Add limes leaves, galangal slices, and lemongrass.
  • Stir constantly until the grains develop a deep golden brown color.
  • Using a mortar and pestle, grind down the grains and lime leaves into a coarse powder. The lemongrass and galangal can be harder to grind, so you can just remove them. Alternatively, you can use a food processor, blender, or coffee grinder, just be sure not to over grind it, you want it to be a bit coarse and gritty.
