Red Chilli Garlic Sauce

This is a sauce or paste that you can use in any veg or non veg cooking. This will add an extra flavor to the dish.

This is traditionally used in many kongu style non veg preparations.

 

Ingredients:

Red chilli - 10 - 12 nos 

Garlic - 10 - 12 cloves

Salt as required 

Oil - 1 tbsp ( preferably til oil)

Turmeric - 1/4 tsp

Method:

In a small pan add 1 cup water and bring to boil.

Once the water start to boil, add the red chilies.

 

Once it become soft, switch off and allow it to cool.

Discard the water.

In a mixer blender, add the chilli, garlic and some salt.

 

Grind it to a fine paste. Adding salt while grinding will help it to become fine paste.

In a kadai, add oil. Use oil generously as it will help to preserve the paste.

 

Once the oil is hot, add the paste and turmeric powder.

 

Cook for one minute. Since the chilli has been already cooked, it is not necessary to cook for a long time.

Chilli paste is ready.
