Nasi ayam is one of the favorite dishes of Malaysians and also neighboring countries such as Singapore and Thailand. Each has their own version.
Among the important components in chicken rice cooking is the chili sauce which is based on fresh chilli and also garlic. Here I share a recipe for my mother -in -law’s chicken rice chili sauce which has become our family’s favorite.
This sauce is not only delicious to eat with chicken rice but can also be matched with pickles , flour fried squid or shrimp and a wide variety of other dishes that require a spicy and sour sauce.

2 cloves garlic
2 the roots of the coriander tree
10 red chili
1 tablespoon of vinegar
2 tablespoons chili sauce
2 tablespoons of tomato sauce
1 teaspoons of salt
