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.
