Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ------------ --------- --------- --
6 garlic cloves
6 green chiles
3 1/2 ounces large banana shallots -- cut in half length-wise
4 ripe firm plum tomatoes -- seeded and chopped
1/2 cup vegetable oil -- scant
2 tablespoons nam pla -- (Thai fish sauce)
juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 pinch sugar -- generous

Heat a dry grill pan over a high heat and add the garlic, chiles, and shallots. Fry for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until fragrant, then let cool before cutting them into small chunks.

Transfer to a large mortar along with the tomatoes. Using a pestle, grind to a paste.

Add the oil, nam pla, lime juice, cilantro, and sugar and mix well.

Makes 1 1/4 cups (about 20 one-tablespoons servings).

A very hot dip served with sticky rice or grilled vegetables. Charring the ingredients on a barbecue improve the flavor no end, but a grill pan does and acceptable job.
