Sambal Ikan Bilis (Anchovies in Spicy Gravy)...

Simple menu for today...I cooked Sambal Ikan Bilis after such a long time! Still remember how I burnt the sambal when I did it the first time after marriage! Awwwww! Now it's funny...:))

Actual idea was to do Nasi Lemak (Coconut Rice), but I'm running out of screwpine leaves! hehe.
So, plain rice will do la erk!


But I still boiled 2 eggs and sliced some cucumbers as side dish...Oooh Yummy!!! ;)


I'm sure everyone knows how to cook Sambal Ikan Bilis right??? My recipe is nothing special but I added a stalk of lemongrass...


Anyways, I'll still share the recipe...just incase any newbies around, k! ;)) Here U r!


Ingredients :-
  • 1 cup of cleaned anchovies
  • 10 pcs dried chillis * (soak in hot water first, drained)
  • 5 shallots *
  • 3 cloves of garlic *
  • 1 cm shrimp paste (belacan) *
  • 1 large onion ~ sliced into rings
  • 1 stalk of lemongrass ~ slightly crushed (optional)
  • 2 tbsp of tamarind juice (adjust to ur taste)
  • sufficient amount of water ~ (add more if u prefer the sambal abit watery)
  • Salt and sugar to taste
  • Cooking oil
Cooking method :-
  1. Blend smooth the ingredients marked *.
  2. Heat oil in a wok. Fry the anchovies till crispy. Leave it aside.
  3. Now stir-fry the blended ingredients together with lemongrass till fragrant. Make sure the oil floats...
  4. Add some water and stir awhile. Add onion rings, tamarind juice, salt n sugar. Stir and give it a boil.
  5. Finally, add the fried anchovies. Mix well and turn off the flame.
  6. Ur Sambal is ready to be served with Nasi Lemak/ plain rice/ bread! :))
Enjoy ur Sambal Ikan Bilis!!! ;;)
