Puree the peppers, shallots, garlic, and shrimp paste.
Fry the sambal paste in oil for 8 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the tamarind, sugar, and salt, then thicken for 3 minutes.
Coat the fish with sambal and place it on a banana leaf.
Grill for 8 minutes.
Turn the fish and cook for another 6 minutes.
Serve hot with lime and cucumber.
💡 Tip: Do not turn the fish too often; the sambal on the banana leaf forms a light crust and picks up a smoky flavor.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with lime, cucumber, and steamed rice.
