Balado
Balado is an Indonesian chile relish cooked until glossy, smoky, and brick red, coating eggs, fish, potatoes, or vegetables with shallot sweetness and sharp heat.
π Recipe adapted from Wikidata (Dish)
Pound or blend chiles, shallots, garlic, and tomato into a coarse paste.
Fry the paste in coconut oil with lime leaves until the raw smell fades and the oil separates.
Season with palm sugar, tamarind juice, and salt for a hot, tangy balance.
Add fried eggs, potatoes, fish, or vegetables and turn them gently in the sauce.
Cook until the balado clings in a glossy red layer and serve with rice.
