Balinese Sambal

This is adapted from Cradle of Flavor, based on a delicious version that I had with white rice and duck on my honeymoon. Optionally, you can include a couple of teaspoons of peanut oil, but I don't find it necessary, especially since Indonesian food tends to be rather oily anyway. If you like, you can chop the ingredients in a food processor.
