SAMBAL SAUCE

Steps:

• Place serrano peppers, sugar, salt, shrimp paste, tomato, onion, garlic, and lime juice into a blender, and blend until smooth. Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the chile puree along with the lemongrass, curry leaves, and galangal. Cook and stir until the mixture changes color and becomes very fragrant, about 15 minutes. Stir in the tamarind juice, and cook for 1 minute more. Strain before serving.

SAMBA SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high.
• Push a skewer lengthwise through each sausage. Make a series of diagonal parallel slits, 1/4 inch deep and 1/2 inch apart in one side of each sausage. Turn the sausage over and make a similar set of slits going the opposite direction.
• Combine the onion, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl, then stuff some of the mixture into the slits in the sausages.
• When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Arrange the sausages on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs, until lightly browned on all sides and heated through, turning as necessary, 5 to 8 minutes in all. As the sausages cook, drizzle oil over the slits.
• Serve the sausages right on the skewers and eat them like Popsicles, with any remaining onion mixture.

MANGO AMBA SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat canola oil in a large pan over medium-low heat. Add mustard seeds and, when they sputter, turn heat to low and add diced chile pepper. Cook for another minute.
• Add diced mango to pan, along with lemon juice.
• Add brown sugar and water, in 1/4 cup increments, and stir until sugar has dissolved.
• Continue cooking and stirring until all mango chunks are tender. Continue adding water as needed.
• Stir in ground cumin, fenugreek, ground sumac, cayenne pepper, and salt.
• Taste for seasoning and adjust salt to your liking.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool. Pour into a lidded jar or container and refrigerate.
• Allow to sit in refrigerator at least overnight to develop flavors. Use as a condiment as desired.

MALAYSIAN SAMBAL SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Add the garlic, turmeric, galangal, lemongrass, hydrated dried chiles, fresh chiles, and 2 tablespoons water to a food processor or blender. Pulse, then process, scraping down the bowl frequently with a silicone spatula until a smooth paste forms, 8 to 9 minutes. Add the shallots and pulse, scraping down the bowl occasionally, until the mixture is just combined, and the shallots are still coarse and visible, about 1 minute more.
• Heat the oil in a wok or medium nonstick frying pan over very low heat. When the oil is moderately hot, add the paste mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until just fragrant, about 10 minutes.
• Add the fish sauce, palm sugar, and tamarind paste.
• Continue to cook the paste on very low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts and the solids begin to separate from the oil, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Use immediately or let cool, then refrigerate or freeze for future use. Enjoy.
