heat.  In a food processor combine the A and B MIXTURES into a smooth paste.
Place 1/2 c of the coconut milk in a frying pan and heat over medium heat.
Add the paste and stir until the aroma is released, about 1 minutes.  Add
the remaining 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk, bring to a boil over medium heat,
and boil gently for 3 minutes. Add the sugar, tamarind water, and fish soy.
Simmer for 4 more munutes and use these last 3 ingredients to adjust the
flavor to taste. Remove from heat. Toast the white sesame seeds and grind
them roughly in a mortar. Add the peanuts and the sesame seeds to the sauce.
Let the sauce cool. Place in a serving dish and sprinkle with coriander
leaves before serving with satay. Serve at room temperature.
