Hi Auntie Rose,
I am always looking for nasi lemak sambal. By “shallots” do you mean the green spring onions? In Australia we also have a french shallot - like a bigger bawang merah! By big onion, do you mean the large brown onion? Not sure also about the quantity of belachan. Sorry to trouble you.
Thank you so much for your generous soul and your wonderful recipes.

Hi Paul,
The large onion or bawang merah besar are brown or purplish.
The shallots or small onions are also called bawang merah kechil.
If you do not like the strong smell of belachan, you can reduce the amount to suit your taste. Happy cooking!

Hi Auntie Rose,
I found your website last week when I was searching for some sambal recipe.
I cooked Nasi Lemak for dinner last night. It was a fantastic dinner. Your Sambal Chilli for Nasi Lemak and Nasi Lemak were fabulous!!
