Sambal Ikan Bilis

by Honey Ahmad, on Fri, December 17, 2010
Malay


Cook this up to eat with the healthy nasi lemak. Delicious!


"Instead of frying zap the bilis in a microwave"




Ingredients

10 shallots
15 dried chillies (use more if you like it super spicy)
5 garlic cloves
1 inch of tamarind (assam jawa) with 1 cup of hot water
4-5 tsp raw organic brown sugar
2 Tbs olive oil
Water
Cooked ikan bilis


Serves...
3 - 4
 

This sambal is fresh with the lemongrass in but pretty spicy



Method

Bake chillies in oven until fragrant for 5mins at 180C. In a blender, blend chillies with shallots and garlic.

Fry mixture in a wok with oil until the oil separates or the chilli mixture gets a little crispy. Add in sugar.

Add in about 1 cup water and let simmer. Keep adding water until you get the right spiciness. After 30-45 minutes add tamarind water. Cook until the sambal turns a slightly darker red. Add in the cooked ikan bilis.

We couldn't stop eating this nasi lemak and felt incredibly satisfied.
