This dish is called chili paste.
I think chili paste is not foreign to us all.

but the chili paste I found was in one of the takengon towns, precisely in the village of "stars", I made a visit to the house, then they served my lunch menu with chili paste.

The taste and aroma of sambal is very different from the chili paste I have ever eaten before.

characteristic of the ingredients of sambal cuisine terasi ala village "Bintang" This is a small Tomato that is named by the community there with the title "eggplant padol".

TERONG PADUL.
is a kind of tomato plant is just that the fruit is smaller than ordinary tomatoes. according to their information "eggplant padul" does not grow like a regular tomato plant but "eggplant padul" grows in their fields if the field is experiencing the burning of the land, Then they take their already grown seed and develop it in their home yard.
meaning that this little tomato (eggplant padul) is not planted specifically but initially this tomato grows with its sèndirinya in their fields.
that is unique from the plant "eggplant padul" is what they make as ingredients sambal cuisine terasi ala village "Bintang".
