Steamed Shrimp Paste Sambal

You'd like to make large amount of sambal but doesn't have lust to grind raw chilies?? 😉 Just try this version of sambal terasi. I make it also when I am too lazy to pound large of chillies ;-). All you have to do just steam the ingredients to soften then shortly grind in a grinding stone or with mortal & pestle. And sambal is ready to serve!!

The recipe looks so simple but it's good to burn your mouth ha ha 😉 Good to accompany grilled chicken or other fried side dishes & raw salad.

Instructions

Steam the chillies, garlic & tomato until they are soft (approx. 10 minutes)
Transfer all the steamed ingredients on to grinding stone (or mortar & pestle) and grind smoothly.
Add the roasted/fried dried shrimp paste (terasi), grind again to mix.
Adjust the seasoning, add salt & sugar to taste. Sambal to be consumed until finish because it doesn't stay good longer as fried sambal.
