I've been unable to find a recipe even remotely resembling it in any other Indonesian cookbook. I like to cross-reference recipes and learn where they came from, but only the Time/Life reporters seem to have found this one. In any event, it's quite wonderful. Not for the faint of heart. .IH "makes 2 cups" "makes 500 ml" .IG "1" "medium onion," cut into thin strips .IG "1" "small ripe tomato," cut into small cubes .IG "1 tsp" "fresh basil," "5 ml" chopped fine .IG "1" "small fresh hot red chili," stemmed, seeded, and cut into thin strips .IG "1" "small fresh hot green chili," stemmed, seeded, and cut into thin strips .IG "\(14 cup" "fresh lime juice" "60 ml" .IG "1" "lime rind," chopped into tiny pieces .PH .SK 1 Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
