powder and paprika, tomato and salt to taste. Use aluminum foil to wrap
the dried shrimp paste and grill under a hot griller for a few minutes
on each side until it smells aromatic. Unwrap the dried shrimp paste,
dissolve in hot water and add into the gravy. Cook till the tomato is
soft and pulpy. Add little hot water if necessary.

leaves, lemon juice and cook a further 5 minutes. Serve with steamed
white rice while hot.
