Sambal Petai Udang Kering

I don't think there will be a full-stop to petai personally for me. Why? Because I so love petai (Sambal Petai Bilis), I do. I sincerely do. Whether petai is about healthiness, doesn't really matter to me and for a matter of fact, like I have already told you, in fact, even any of our typical Malaysian dishes (Salt Fish Pickle, Nyonya Fish Sambal & Kangkung Belacan). Anything spicy, salty and even including bitterness, you can include Nava K. Sambal Petai Udang Kering. My style to me making. Petai and dried shrimps/udang kering being the two key ingredients, and the rest, chillies (Chilli Soy Fish), onion, garlic, lime juice, salt and a tiny bit of sugar. Sambal Petai Udang Kering.
