Sambal Goreng Pengantin

"Pengantin" means wedding, hence it can be commonly serve at Malay wedding receptions or during the festive seasons of Hari Raya. This is my favourite dish and we usually get to eat this during Hari raya Puasa. A lot of preparation work yet the end result is so satisfying. There ae many variation to this dish but my favourite would be be the one that my late Mum showed me. So this recipe has my late Mum's approval but made easier with the used of #IbuSegalaRempah spice mix.
