   1      pound         carrots
   2      teaspoons     salt

A sambal is a favorite dish of the Cape Malays and has become popular with
the rest of the country over time. It is a salad or condiment and is a good
accompaniment for any fried or oily dish such as fried chicken.
Scrape and coarsely grate the carrots. Mix them together with the salt in a
large bowl and leave to stand at room temperature for about half an hour.
Squeeze the carrots hard to remove any excess moisture.
Combine the vinegar, chilies and sugar in a bowl, stirring until the sugar
is dissolved. Add the carrots and stir until thoroughly mixed.
Place in a serving bowl and leave to macerate at room temperature for a
minimum of 15 minutes before serving.
This sambal is good with fried chicken.
