Chili prawn is the common dish in Indonesia. There are a lot of version of this chili prawn. However the recipe that i used is my mom's recipe. This chili prawn can be eaten with normal rice or coconut rice which the recipe of the coconut rice that i have posted earlier. You can used prawns, squids, fish fillets, chicken fillets, egg and eggplant for the chili paste. I will used prawn and quail egg for this recipe. This dish is a spicy dish. you can substitute half of the chili to red capsicum if you cannot eat spicy food. Moreover, one of the ingredient is Pete ( Petai / Smelly Beans) . Pete is only available in tropical country such as Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. This pete looks like broad bean however they have a really strong smell which might not be a favourite as because it can cause bad breath after that. However tropical country loves pete so much including me. ^^ If you guys want to know more what is pete then i have just click here to find out more information of pete. In australia, You can find pete either frozen or canned in oriental store. I have attached 2 photos of Pete.
