Ingredients
- 35 dried red chilies
Instructions
- 1
Dry fry the dried chilies on low heat- and any other spices you may be adding- in a wok till crisp. The chilies should be brittle to touch but shouldn't change color, though a few darker spots may appear.

Allow to cool before placing in the blender (to prevent the steam from making the chili soggy.)Note: Alternatively, you can bake at 200c/ 180C fan till the chilies are crisp, about 3-4 minutes- the exact time will depend on the humidity of your region.(Give the tray a shake at the 3 minutes mark.)

Blend the dried chilies to your desired consistency. This will take a minute or two only. The above is what you end up with.Note: be careful when opening the blender, as the chili fumes may make you choke.
