Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- For chili powder: if you want to make chili powder, simply remove the chili seeds before hand, and blend until you get a fine powder. If your blender is not powerful enough, transfer the flakes to a spice grinder to grind to a fine consistency.
