Description
Sambal ijo (sambal hijau — green sambal) — green chillies, shallots, garlic, and tomato pounded together and FRIED in oil until the oil separates. The most popular Padang sambal after sambal merah (red). The green chilli provides a different heat from red — grassier, sharper, more vegetal, with a higher capsaicin punch per gram.
