Sambal is chilli paste or sauce that is made by mixing different kinds of chili along with shrimp paste, garlic, ginger, shallot, scallion, palm sugar, or lime juice. There are different variations of sambal, which are quite easy to make at home.
In Indonesia, it has become one of the most popular condiments that many people reach for due to its versatility in being paired with other food combinations. However if sambal’s spiciness is too much, you can make a tomato-based sambal which is spicy but still toned down compared to regular sambal variations.
Ingredients:
- 10 cabai keriting (chilies)
- 6 cabai rawit merah (cayenne pepper)

- 2 pcs daun jeruk purut (lime leaves)
