Mary-Anne,

I don't know which kind of peppers your going to use but what I didn't
mention is that I left all the seeds in when making the Sambal, which is the
normal procedure.
But if you for instance are going to use small peppers like Thai and Tobasco
like I've done, I think you better can de-seed half of the amount of peppers
as the ratio between 'meat' and seed is almost 2:1 for these small fellows
which mean that you get lots of seed in the paste for some it's to much
(more heat too).

Success and Heat
Rob
