Introduction

This quick and easy chilli sambal recipe is a spicy condiment made from ground chilli peppers. It's a key ingredient in many Southeast Asian dishes. 

This hot relish is perfect to brighten up and add a strong flavour to any meal - it even goes great on burgers!

Other dried chillies will work well with this, all affecting the final flavour and heat strength of the sauce. Try using chipotles for a Mexican-style sauce, or habanero for a more Caribbean influence.

Ingredients

 Makes 1 jar
20g dried red chillies (soaked in 150ml of just-boiled water for 10 minutes)
2 garlic cloves (peeled)
2 fresh red chillies (stalks removed)
4 tsp white wine vinegar
2 tsp salt 
4 tsp sugar

Instructions

1. Blend all the ingredients together, including the water used to soak the chillies.

2. Adjust to taste, adding more salt, sugar or garlic.

The Rafi's Spicebox Cookbook

In 2016, we released the Rafi’s Spicebox Cookbook with recipes all based on Indian flavours and concepts. Some of them have evolved from Rafi’s original recipes and others from our team's travel to India and beyond. This book was written to inspire you to cook the best food that you can. If we can encourage you to enjoy the whole process of cooking these dishes and sharing them with family or friends, our work is done. We’re very proud of these dishes, and hope to hear what you’ve done with them in your own kitchen!
