2 -3 shallots, diced
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 inch piece ginger, peeled & chopped
1 pinch of smoked spanish paprika
1 teaspoon ground coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin powder
1/2 red chili powder, to taste
1 pinch ground allspice

Steps:

In a sauce pan on medium high heat, add the oil. When hot, saute the shallots, garlic and ginger. Let cook until the shallots have become translucent and softened.
Add in the spices (paprika, ground coriander powder, ground cumin powder, red chili powder, ground allspice, salt & pepper). Let the spices fry for a minute or so and then start adding in the other ingredients: brown sugar, dried red chilies along with their soaking liquid, tamarind, honey, sambal oelek and soy sauce. Mix well.
Add about 1 cup or so of water (you could also add your favorite juice such as mango, orange or a mixed fruit juice). Bring to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer; cook until thickened and reduced. Let cool slightly, adjust any seasonings and blend into a smooth thick paste.
Store in an airtight container or jar for up to 1 week or so in your refrigerator.
