when i prepare sambal, i use dry chili and grind them into powder (with seeds included) before cooking in the pot. the seeds will already be in powder form in the chili mixture. the sambal will end up smoother and more refined like this version with ikan bilis.The seeds aid with digestion. You should eat them.
otherwise the chili paste looks like this, which is the original and authentic way of preparation. i used to prepare like this, but it takes too long and too much work. pound until neighbor thinks i'm remodeling the kitchen. nowadays, there are blender, grinder and food processor. life is now so easy.
