Telur balado is a popular Indonesian dish that consists of hard-boiled eggs in a spicy chilli sauce. The hard-boiled eggs are fried until the outer layer becomes slightly crispy, and are then coated or served with a spicy sauce made from a blend of ground red chilies, shallots or onions, garlic, tomato, tamarind, sugar, and salt, with the addition of lime leaves or lemongrass for extra aroma.
