Another version of vegetarian sambal that has more ingredients. The previous one [Vegetarian Sambal I] has no carrots and uses fresh red chillies with calamansi lime juice. This one uses chilli paste [from dried chillies] and tamarind slices. Both are as good. You can squeeze in so lime juice for more tangy taste.

Wonderful samba, recipe !
Kimmy, I must try this! Quite interesting as I have eaten vegetarian food and I wondered how they make their sambal :)
Hi Sapana, sambal without prawn paste. Healthy version good with noodles and rice.
Hi Phong Hong, never imagine sambal with carrots and tomatoes, ya?
Wow, I can imagine using this for the base of so many delicious dishes! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Joyce, you're right. I used this to cook spicy stir fry vegetables and
vegetarian sambal 'dried prawns'.
Very healthy sambal with added carrot n tomotoes. May I know how much dried chilies should I used to substitute chili paste? Like to blend from dried chilies. Thanks!
Hi Vivian, you can blend from dried chillies then weigh it for 300 gm. I bought the ready blended dried chillies.
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find nearly all of your post’s to be precisely what I’m looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content for you personally? I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome website!
