A close-up image shows a dark gray stone mortar filled with red chili paste, commonly known as sambal, in Kecamatan Beji, Indonesia, a location at latitude -7.605, longitude 112.759. The paste is composed of finely crushed red chili peppers and other unidentified ingredients. It appears to be wet and freshly made, with some larger pieces of chili pepper visible in the mixture. The mortar appears to be made of rough stone and has a dark gray, worn appearance. The texture of the sambal suggests it is a spicy condiment commonly used in Indonesian cuisine.
