Time flies when you are having fun, suddenly without realising it’s already the end of August which means time for Masbar. What an interesting theme we got this month, sambal. I don’t think any Indonesians can live without it. We love sambal so much that every region has it’s own signature sambal, and this one is from Bali.
For 5 persons
Ingredients:
- 500 gr be pindang (salted fish) if you couldn’t buy ready made pindang, you could try to make it yourself, click here.
