Keep stirring for 30 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

For Sambal Ulek (paste)
Wash the chillies; remove the stalks, but not the seeds. Put the whole chillies into the jar of a blender, add about 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar then blend.


If the chilli paste is too thick and chunky, add a little more vinegar, blend again: it should become a smooth paste. Then stir in the salt.
