Sambal Terasi
Red chillies, garlic, shallots, tomato roast briefly under a grill until softened and slightly charred. Terasi (shrimp paste) toasts in a dry pan 1 minute until intensely fragrant. All ingredients pound or pulse to a coarse paste. The paste then fries in oil 8-10 minutes until deep red, fragrant and oil separates at the edges. Salt and a touch of palm sugar balances. Eats hot or cool.
