Egg Sambal Special

Ingredients A
4 to 6 boiled eggs
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tbsp tamarind juice
1 tbsp oil

Ingredients B
To be made into a paste
20 dried red chillies (soaked in hot water for 20mins) (I used the less spicy variety of dried chillies)
50gm sweet pepper/Palermo (or red capsicum)
4 cloves garlic
1in roasted shrimp paste
8 small shallots


Ingredients C
1 tsp heaped tomato puree
salt and sugar to taste
(Note: I like my sambal sweet so I added about 2 tbsp sugar)

Garnishing
chopped spring onions

In a skillet, wok or non-stick pan, add 1 tbsp oil, add in turmeric powder and stir. Then add in the boiled egg. Roll the eggs with the turmeric powder and fry lightly all around.

Dish out. Add around 4 tbsp oil in the same pan. Add in ingredients B and stir fry until aromatic. Add in tomato puree, tamarind juice, salt and sugar to taste. Stir and simmer gently until oil floats on the surface of the sambal paste. Mix in the eggs with the sambal paste. Adjust seasoning and serve in a serving dish. Garnish with chopped spring onions. Serve as a side dish with white rice or biryani.

(Note: This sambal paste ingredient is enough to prepare with 6 boiled eggs. I only used 4, as there were 4 people only at home :-) )
