• Sambal Ulek is made of chillis that have been crushed this way.
• This is a very basic sambal, which is useful to keep in quantity, so that you can use it for quite a lot of recipes which specify red chillis as one of the ingredients.
• As this sambal can be stored for at least 2 weeks in the refrigerator, it is worth while making quite a lot of it.

Let the machine run for a minute or so.

• Put this sambal into a jar, stir in the salt, cover the jar tightly and keep in the refrigerator.
