Step:

Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry chili peppers, birds eye chilies, tomato, shallots, garlic, and trasi/terasi (shrimp paste) until fragrant. Remove from the heat.
Grind them in a stone mortar or pestle.
Add coconut sugar and salt as to taste.
Serve with your choice of dish!
Note: If you dont have a mortar or a pestle, you can always use a handy chopper to save your time. I did and it still tastes as delicious
