Oh, this looks amazing - my husband loves this stuff and could eat it by the spoonful - I am missing a few key ingredients so see a trip to the market coming up - thanks for the wonderful ideas.
This looks so spicy delicious... yummy , I can smell it from here !
Nice blog you got right here... I enjoyed reading your posts. I'm sure I'll visit here more often. Anyway, if you are interested, you can take a look at these amazing French macaroons and Almond macaroon cookies I've been trying to make.. It's very hard though... :) If you know how to make these, maybe you could give me some tips. Thanks!

This is a wonderful recipe. I normally use Korean sweet chili paste with tamarind paste to get create this paste. Your version is better, fresh and less preservative.
