Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Green chilies
- 50 grams Shallots
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 100 grams Green tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Palm sugar
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
Wash the green chilies, remove the stems, and roughly chop them.
Peel the shallots and garlic cloves, then roughly chop them.
Roughly chop the green tomatoes.
Heat the coconut oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped shallots and garlic, sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
Add the green chilies and tomatoes to the pan and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until the tomatoes are soft.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or use a mortar and pestle to grind everything into a coarse paste.
Return the paste to the pan and heat over low heat to remove excess moisture, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes.
Add the lime juice, salt, and palm sugar. Stir well until the ingredients are combined and the sambal reaches the desired consistency.
Adjust seasoning to taste and serve warm or store in an airtight container for later use.
