This light in flavour and soft in texture tomato chili sauce is widely served in Balinese cuisine to accompany fried appetizers and a variety of main dishes. It is very similar to Sambal Terasi (Shrimp Paste Chili Sauce), another very popular and widely served sambal in Indonesian cuisine. This one uses all the ingredients from Sambal Terasi except the shrimp paste. The omission of the shrimp paste makes it more suitable to serve with a wider variety of foods and thus more popularly had everywhere in Bali.
Sambal is crucial to Indonesian cuisine! Indonesian people rarely eat a meal or a savory snack without a variety of Sambal (spicy paste, usually including chilies, a mix of spices, fruits, vegetables or peanuts) or sauce.
