Indonesian Tomato Sambal

For you who like sambal but do not like dried shrimp paste or terasi ;-), this is a variant of Indonesian Tomato sambal.

It is also HOT & SPICY!! Good for Chili fans!!

Instructions

Put chillies, shallot & garlic in a blender or food processor & blend into smooth paste.
Heat 4 tbsp oil in a Wok or big saucepan. (Don't add oil if already added in a blender).
Stir-fry sambal paste over medium heat until the oil begins to appear on the surface, take about 5 mins. Stir frequently.
(Sambal is done when the liquid had evaporated & the texture becomes scrambled).
Add the chopped tomatoes, continue to stir-fry until tomatoes softened & blended well with the sambal (about 5 minutes).
Adjust the seasoning, add salt & sugar to taste. Serve right away or keep in air tight jar and put on fridge for longer use.
