Ingredients:

		Stephen Ceideburg
4	oz	Tuna fish, or:
3	oz	Eel or:
3	oz	Ikan teri
1	cup	Thick santen (coconut milk)
4		Cloves garlic
3		Shallots, peeled and chopped
4		Kemiri (candlenuts)
3		Cabe rawit or:
2	tsp	Chilli powder
2	tbsp	Tamarind water or
2	tsp	Tomato puree
1	tsp	Brown sugar
		Salt
2	tbsp	Vegetable oil

Procedures:

1	I find that the easiest and tastiest sambal ikan is made with canned tuna fish.
2	Sambal made with eel, however, is also delicious; cut the eel up very small and wash it in vinegar.
3	In indonesia we make this sambal with ikan teri or ikan bilis (tiny dried anchovies).
4	Pound the garlic, shallots, kemiri and cabe rawit into a paste.
5	Fry this paste in vegetable oil in a wok for about half a minute.
6	Put in the tuna fish, eel or teri; stir-fry for 1 minute and add the tamarind water, or tomato puree, sugar and salt.
7	Stir in the santen, and go on simmering until the mixture becomes thick.
8	This sambal can be served hot or cold
