  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup roasted peanuts (roughly chopped), and 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice.
  4. Season generously with salt to taste (start with 1 teaspoon and adjust).

  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely before serving. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
