Malaysian Chilli Relish

まらよしあんちっりれりし

This strong, fiery taste is typical of Malay Cuisine, so this pungent chilli condiment is served with almost every dish. 

A little spoonful seems to go with everything-chunks of bread, rice, grilled foods and stirfried vegetables. Malaysian, Thai and Indonesian fermented shrimp pastes can be found in Asian markets and some supermarkets.

1 tbsp shrimp paste
4 fresh red chillies, stalks and seeds removed (keep the seeds)
2 fresh kaffir lime leaves, spines removed and shredded

1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp palm sugar
juice of 1 lime
1 lime, cut in wedges, to serve

In a small heavy-based saucepan dry-roast shrimp paste until it is aromatic and crumbly. Then, using a pestle and mortar, grind roasted shrimp paste with  chillies to from a paste. Grind in half the chilli seeds and the lime leaves. Add salt and sugar, and stir in remaining chilli seeds. Moisten with juice of 1 lime. Spoon relish into a small bowl and serve with wedges of lime to squeeze over it.
