Thai chili with Thai chiles!

[baking fool]

anyone tried making something like this? those little bird's-eye chiles are small enough that you could put them in whole (after roasting! ). there could be garlic, lemongrass, coconut milk, ginger... one prob is that chili has to have lots of cumin in it, and i'm not sure if cumin is a thai ingredient...? (& tomatos too?)





ps - maybe serrano chili with serrano chiles would be better, but are serranos as small (or as hot) as those little thai ones?
