Indonesian chilli sambal

Tried out stone mortar and right-angle pestle - it's made from lava rock!
I dried out the tomatoes (a little) in the oven first as I wanted this chilli sambal to keep for a few days. I think the really wet, fresh tomatoes would mean that the paste needs to be consumed very soon after making it.

As expected, this sambal is toned down by the tomatoes, not so spicy hot. Pleasant, seasoned with salt and sugar.
