I won't give this any stars because the recipe seems to be missing a few instructions/ingredients, so I'm not sure if my finished product is anywhere near the intentions of the recipe. I roasted the peanuts, then blended in a food processor. Next I steamed the dried chilies, and I stuck to the recipe from there. The only other change I made: there is grated coconut mentioned in the instructions but not the ingredient list, so I just left it out. Though the recipe is slightly ambiguously written, the final product is very tasty. I love belacan and tamarind, and I really liked the dimension and flavour they brought to this recipe. I served with grilled chicken and cucumber slices, and we enjoyed it very much. Malaysian Chef, if you update the recipe with the missing instructions/ingredients, I'd be happy to make it again and re-rate it. Made for PAC Spring 2010.
