Sambal, the essence of chillies. Red, green, big, small, pounded into a mouthwatering chilli paste. I want it on its own, cooked with other stuff, or just sitting there, for me to admire. What would Indonesian food be without sambal? Well…still delicious…but something would be missing.
The sambal beckons, in all its forms and colours…an addiction, a fiery obsession…the volcanoes of Indonesia, the bottomless pit of my stomach.
