1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt,
divided
1 (8-inch-long) fresh red Kashmiri or
other mild red chile, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced (about 2 tablespoons)
5 fresh red Thai chiles (about 1
ounce), stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 (4- to 6-inch-long) lemongrass stalk
(inner white part only), thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon fresh makrut lime

Directions
Place shallots and 1 tablespoon salt in a

mixture. Stir together using a spoon (or mix by hand) until well combined. Stir
