7 shallots
5 cloves of garlic
4 tbspn cooking oil
B:
3/4 cup Roasted peanuts, chopped finely
1/2 cup water (or less)

*Tip*: You can also substitute both the Coconut cream and water with Coconut Milk (3/4 cup will do). Those tin canned ones will do great. You can also squeeze your own coconut milk from fresh grated coconut meat of coconuts (those already have husk) or you can use instant coconut powder, 1/2 cup of powder diluted in 1/2 cup of water. While cooking ingredients A, you may need to put a bit of cooking oil in your pan.
