INGREDIENTS:
Pound and mix the following in a stone mortar and pestle:
3 fresh red chillies
4 shallots
1 tablespoon salted shrimps, toasted
2.5 cm belacan (shrimp paste), toasted
some tamarind juice
Slice:
300g angled beans
2 onions
2 fresh red chillies
1 fresh green chillies
a little salt if necessary, that is if the salted shrimps and belacan are not salty enough
a little sugar to taste
1/4 fresh coconut, grated, fried till golden and pounded (that is made into kerisik). (Nowadays you can also buy ready -made kerisik or use dessicated coconut to replace fresh coconut).
Mix all the ingredients in red font, blue font and purple font together and serve as part of accompaniments to hot boiled white rice.
To act a little oomph to you 'kerabu' you may add 1 sliced wild ginger flower (bunga kantan).
The angled beans can also be substituted with long beans. You do not need to preboil the long beans.Just cut into 2 cm strips.

I simply love kerabu. Learnt a new thing, adding wild ginger flower to it. Definitely a plus point! Must try!
Thanks for your comments, Edgar. Unfortunately I am not able to access your blog.
'Kerabu' is also one of my favorite foods.My daughter loves the Thai style 'mango kerabu' when added with wild ginger flower.
