No serving of nasi lemak would be complete without a generous dollop of sambal tumis, a fiery cooked chilli paste, often with the addition of either tiny dried whitebait/dried anchoviesprawns or squid.But this sambal goes well with dhall curry or even sothi( a south indian stew) .

500 gm Prawns (clean and take out the shell)
2 big Onions(sliced)
1/2 tsp Turmeric powder

Ground together in to a paste:
10 dried Chillies(soak in water)
6 Red Chillies
1 tsp Belacan(shrimp paste)
5 Candlenuts(buah keras)
Method:
