  2. Brown off the sausages then cook on low slowly till done while you make the paste
  3. Use a medium sized non stick pot if you have one, put all the dry spices into the pot and put over a low heat . Toss or stir occasionally until they are lightly coloured and starting to smell fragrant. You can add a tablespoon of water to the pot if it is catching and toss till that is evaporated and the spices are fragrant. Turn off the heat

Notes

  • I used Kara Coconut cream. A very thick creamy coconut available in supermarkets. I buy it in Asian stores because they have bigger containers
