  • The ingredients are grinded using a traditional tool made from wood (second sentence, third paragraph). The ingredients for sambal are traditionally grinded using cobek, which is made from solid rock. However, there are cobek made from wood, but again, it's uncommon.
  • Sambal is a main meal (fourth sentence, fourth paragraph). No one eats sambal only for their meal, it's like saying ketchup is great for lunch. Wikipedia stated that a main meal is the heaviest and complex dish on the menu, usually meat, fish, or rice. Sambal is more of a condiments than a main meal.
