About Sambal tuktuk

Indonesian spicy sauce with andaliman seasoning

Sambal is a category of chilli-based sauces or pastes originating in maritime Southeast Asia, particularly within the cuisines of Indonesia, Malaysia, Timor-Leste, Brunei, Singapore, southern Thailand and southern Philippines. Owing to historical connections and migration, sambal is also found in South Africa, Suriname and the Netherlands, while in Sri Lanka a local adaptation is known as sambol. In English, it is commonly described as an “Indonesian condiment”.
