It is always a must in my home to have our sambal belachan and we find that it is easy to make with the food processor but we believe to have them with the traditional way which is using the old way which is using the stone mortar and pestle.
Ingredients:
1. 300 g chilies
2.20 g belachan (Brand Cheong Kim Chuan (Blue Packing)
3. 10 pcs of the chili padi (I used Vietnam Chillies)
Method:
1. If you buy a normal belachan, toast the belachan on a
pan to reduce the smell of the belachan taste
