There are a few variations of sambal and some of the favorite are sambal kuini. Kuini is a strong smelling mango Mangifera foetida, macang (“c” pronounced as “ch” in English). It is rarely eaten on its own: the flavor is too intense and the flesh is very fibrous. So the ripe fruit is pounded in a mortar together with fermented shrimp paste (belacan), fresh cilis  This fruit is a seasonal fruits and you can only have this kuini sambal once the season arrived.. I love this delectable sambal, very satisfying and tasty, sweet kuini blended with hot sambal....really great.
