This is my version of Turmeric Chicken sambal that I've modified to suit my own taste.  You might be wondering what is "Sambal". Okay, in Malaysia, "Sambal" simply means "Hot Relish" made with Chillies and Vegetables. In the past, I normally add Belacan(Prawn Paste) in my turmeric  Sambal,  but for this batch,  I used dried prawns instead of Prawn Paste(Belacan) and the taste is equally good@tasty. You can pair it with anything including steamed rice, fried rice, Nasi Lemak and etc. Here are the ingredients;
