Ingredients

1 cup chopped serrano chiles, with seeds
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon belacan shrimp paste
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 bulb garlic, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 fresh curry leaves
1 (1/2 inch) piece galangal, thinly sliced
