Sambal
is a spicy condiment used especially in Indonesia and Malaysia,
made with chili peppers and other ingredients.
When I was in Belgium, I especially liked to "spice my rice" with "sambal oelek". This sambal is sold in Belgium in any big supermarket as an Indonesian Spice-mixture. Great was my amazement that when I arrived in Malaysia : it was hard to find "sambal oelek". But I learned that Malaysia makes up for this by introducing me with a lot of different sambal mixtures, lots of them you can make yourself.
This is a sambal recipe I like : it's delicious, has easy to find ingredients and is fast & easy to prepare : just blend ingredients together.
The honey and the carrot give a special smooth sweet touch to this sambal.
INGREDIENTS
- Blend smoothly to a paste :
- 1 onion
- 20 dried chilies
- 2 tomatoes
- 1/2 carrot
- 1/2 tablespoon oil
- 1/2 chicken, cleaned and cut in pieces
- 1 onion sliced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3,4 US fluid ounce - 3 Australia fluid ounce (100ml) water
- salt to taste (1 tea spoon)
- oil to fry
PREPARATION
- Heat oil over medium fire. Put in sliced onion. Fry till fragrant and golden brown.
- Put in chicken pieces. Stir slowly for 3-4 minutes.
- Add chili paste. Stir till well-mixed for 4 minutes.
- Pour in water, salt and honey. Simmer till gravy thickens and chicken is ready (less than 30 minutes).
- Serve with lots of love and a cool drink, depending on how hot your dry chilies are.
