  • Reduce the heat to low and cover, stirring every 5 minutes or so, for 15 minutes total.
  • Add the garlic, ginger and spices and sauté an additional 5 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the coconut milk, de-glazing the pan as you stir it in.
  • Simmer, uncovered over medium-high heat, for 5 minutes more, reducing down the overall liquid.
  • Turn off the heat, and cool slightly.
  • Spoon 1/2 to 2/3 of the mixture into a blender, and purée for 15 seconds.
