Sambal Ikan bilis (anchovies ) very famous to serve with nasi lemak, white rice, or any kind of rice. I have few versions of cooking this dish. This is one of it.

- 1 tbsp oil
Grind all these ingredients to a paste.
- 1/2 cup anchovies
- 1 onion thinl slice
- 1 tomato cubed
- 1/4 cup tamarind juice
Preparation Method:
Heat oil in a wok. Fry anchovies first and keep aside. Now in using same oil, add thinly sliced onions and saute for few minutes. Then add chopped tomatoes and stir until becomes pulpy. Now transfer the chili paste and fry well till oil floats on top of the paste. Add tamarind juice and some water. Stir well. Let the gravy boils to thicken. Finally add fried anchovies and mix well.
