It is the green version of the sambal balado. While the red is firely, the green is milder. I like to tabao a small pack home. There is a joke why will they prefer to use the unripe tomato and Chili...they picked them before they are ripe because they cannot wait.
Saw the recipe provided by @BlickBassy and i thought i give it a go. Got my helper to "tembok" the chilli & prepare a sample amount.

Couldn't find green tomatoes. So there won't be any sweetness. Added 20 chili padis to give it some Oomph...



This amount in the bowl has 4 big green chili & 20 chili padis. Shiok lah! Thank you Bro!

Bro Please SIC the sambal Gila. I am a chilli Nut case. Actually, from what i found out, most of the local indo don't take very hot chilli.

The hottest Chilli i discovered is the one at City Plaza BCM stall. This one really burns.
