   Sambal is to Indonesian cuisine what salsa is to Mexican cooking: a
   fiery hot condiment serves at every meal. In a blender or food
   processor, combine chilies, garlic, onion, sugar, lemon juice, water,
   and salt; whirl until onions are finely minced. Pour mixture into 1
   to 2 quart pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occaisonally,
   until reduced to about 1/2 cup (about 10 minutes). Serve at room
   temperature. Makes about 1/2 cup.
