1

Method
Chop garlics and shallots in food chopper. Set aside
2

Chop big chillies and chilli padi in food chopper, set aside.
3

Put 3 tbsp cooking oil in frying pan, stir fry chopped garlic and shallots till translucent and fragrant. Add the kurau salted fish, stir fry for another 2 mins.
4

Add the rest of the ingredients: chopped chillies, smashed blue ginger, bay leaves, chopped tomato, add little bit water. cook till the chilli & chilli seed soften about 30 mins. Try to flip and stir once in a while to avoid chilli from burning at the bottom. If the chilli still hard and it is too dry, add little bit more water.
5

Add salt/sugar/pepper to taste. For me i put one knorr cube and bit sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
6

Once chillies cooked, off the heat, squeeze lime juice.
