Ready to continue when: The chilli is broken down and the salt is incorporated into a reddish paste.

Add the onion
Add the chopped red onion to the mortar and pound until it is crushed and juicy but still has some texture.
Ready to continue when: The onion is crushed and juicy without becoming a smooth purée.

Add the lime and serve
Squeeze the lime, add the juice to the mortar and mix well. Serve the freshly made pol sambol as a side.
