a fine powder. Place in a small bowl and add enough water to make a paste.
Set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a pan and saute the onion, ginger, garlic and turmeric
till crisp-tender. Add the coconut milk and Poblano chiles and bring to a
boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and shrimps
and simmer until shrimps are just cooked, approximately 3 minutes. Season if
desired with salt and drops of lemon juice. Serve immediately with a garnish
of cilantro leaves and steamed rice.
