Sambal Kacang (peanut Sauce)

The Lord’s commands to His people are not arbitrary appointments; but that, so far as they are conscientiously complied with, they have an evident tendency and suitableness to promote our own advantage. He requires us to acknowledge Him…for our own sakes; not because He has need of our poor services, but because we have need of His blessing, and without the influence of His grace (which is promised to all who seek it) are sure to be unhappy in ourselves and in all our connections.

INSTRUCTIONS

tiny as the peanuts in your chunky peanut butter, but not too fine.
Then, in a blender or food processor blend chillies, shallots,  garlic,
ginger, galangal, lemongrass, and fennel seed. Blend until it  forms a
paste.  Heat oil in a pot. When oil is heated, put the blended paste
in. Cook  for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring continously. Then, put in the
roasted  peanuts and the tamarind with its water. Cook until the
mixture  boils. Then, put in the coconut milk, sugar and salt. Simmer
