    Perfect! And sooo easy. I didn't add the oil, as I used salted peanuts instead of brazil nuts. Yum

    Just made this recipe with fresh very hot chillies, seeds and all. Most definetely very runny, as someone else commented cooked extra 10-12 minutes. Perfect and very spicy Smile

    I made this last night to go with an Indonesian pork in coconut milk recipe. Absolutely delicious! Very spicy, but really fruity and cleansing.

    Delicious sambal!

    Mine was quite runny at the end of cooking, so I removed the MC and cooked another 10 minutes. It worked out perfectly!

    Its a lovely combination of flavours, and a hit with my chilli-loving husband. Thanks for sharing!

    I have a lot of chillies in my garden and would like to make this. How long do you think it would last in the fridge? 

    Would adding extra salt make it last longer/ be ok?

    AMAZING! I subbed in long red chillies for half, because my poor little chilli bush didn't have enough birds eye, and I'm so glad I did.. this was hot, but not face-searing like some sambals. Also subbed coconut vinegar for rice wine vinegar, cos it was all I had! I'll never buy chilli sauce again ☺️
