Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• 4 shallots
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 red chilies (adjust to taste for heat level)
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 medium-sized tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions:

1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, let the eggs cook for about 10 minutes to achieve a hard-boiled consistency. After cooking, remove the eggs from the water and let them cool. Once cool enough to handle, peel the shells off.

2. Fry the Eggs: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully add the peeled eggs and fry them until the exterior turns golden brown and crispy. Remove the eggs from the oil and drain on paper towels.

3. Prepare the Sambal: While the eggs are frying, prepare the sambal by blending the shallots, garlic, and red chilies into a fine paste. You can use a mortar and pestle or a blender for this step.

4. Cook the Sambal: In a separate pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the blended paste and cook until fragrant and the oil starts to separate from the spice mixture. Add the bay leaves and diced tomatoes, and continue to cook until the tomatoes break down and blend into the sauce. Season with salt and sugar to taste.

5. Combine and Simmer: Gently add the fried eggs into the sambal sauce, ensuring that each egg is coated with the spicy mixture. Stir carefully to avoid breaking the eggs. Let it simmer for a few minutes, allowing the eggs to absorb the flavors.

6. Serve: Once the eggs are well-coated with the sambal and heated through, remove from heat. Serve the Sambal Telor Bulat hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Enjoy this delectable dish with steamed rice or as a zesty addition to your favorite Indonesian meals. The rich sambal sauce paired with crispy, golden eggs makes for a truly satisfying experience. Bon appétit!
