- Clean squid. Remove purplish outer skin and cut sacs into rings.
- To prepare in a mortar: Lb. onion, garlic, chiles, and salt together toa coarse paste. To prepare in a blender or possibly food processor: Grind together with oil.
- In a wok or possibly skillet, heat oil over low heat and add in paste. (If oil was used in grinding paste, add in paste to dry pan.)
- Cook slowly till quite fragrant and oil is well stained with red.
- Add in paprika if necessary to enhance color.
- Turn heat to medium-high, add in squid and Tamarind Water, and cook just till squid is done (about 2 min).
- Serve warm or possibly at room temperature.
- Conclusion: In its most authentic form, this sambal is bright red with chile and quite warm. If you prefer it a little milder, use fresh chiles which are not too warm, such as the milder strain of jalapenos now on the market; otherwise, use less chile and make up the color difference with paprika.
