Ingredients

Instructions

This is the most basic sambal. To make other sambals, ingredients such as trassi or blachan, a firm paste made of rotted shrimp, and candlenuts are added to the mix.

Heat a heavy frying pan and put in the chilies after 2-3 minutes. Dry roast over a medium heat for a few minutes. Cool, then chop finely and pound to a paste with the salt and sugar.

The chili seeds may be taken out, or left in if you want a really fiery relish.

The sambal will keep for a week or so in a jar in the refrigerator.
