Ingredients
- 3.5 ounces dried anchovies
- 2 ounces peanuts see the note, roasted, salted
- 3 ounces red chilies see the note.
- 1 onion medium
- 3 garlic cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt see the note.
- 1 ½ teaspoon sugar
- cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Clean, wash and rinse the anchovies.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan/ a wok and deep-fry the anchovies until they are cooked and crispy. Set aside.
- Using a food processor/ blender or a pestle and mortar, pound the chillies, onion, and garlic into a paste.
- Then heat up ⅓ cup of oil in a frying pan/ a wok and fry the chilli paste. Cook it until all the liquid evaporates, and you have a nice greasy chilli paste with oil separated on the side. You can use the used oil from frying the anchovies or use a new oil.
- When the chili mixture is thick and oily, you can put the fried anchovies and the peanuts in. Stir well until everything is coated with chilli paste. Do so for about 2-3 minutes at moderately high heat. Your Balado Teri is now ready.
Notes
- Traditionally, the Indonesians would use raw peanuts and fry themselves. You can do that too. But I find using ready-roasted salted peanuts saves a lot of time, and the result is equally good.
- Use the big red chilies, and you can deseed the chilies if you don’t want to reduce the heat. Or leave the seeds if you want them spicy. You can also mix the big red chilies with red bird’s eye chilies if you prefer your Balado to be hotter.
- Every brand of anchovies offers different levels of saltiness. Therefore, it’s worth it for you to try the fried anchovies before you make the chili sauce, so you will know how salty they are. Then you know how much you need to put salt in it.
