Serundeng - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (do NOT use sweetened coconut, it will be totally gross)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 ounces salted peanuts

Preparation

Heat oil over medium heat in a medium skillet.
Grind onion and garlic to a paste in a morter or food processor.
Saute onion and garlic briefly, till soft, not brown.
Add all remaining ingredients except lemon juice and peanuts.
Cook and stir continuously over medium heat until the mixture is brown as toast and crumbly, not sticky.
Add lemon juice a teaspoon at a time, tasting as you go. The level of sourness is a matter of personal preference.
Allow to cool and save in an airtight jar. It can be stored in the refrigerator for a month this way.
Add peanuts just before serving.
