Ingredients
- 20 dried Kashmiri red chillies
- 500 ml water 2 cups
Instructions
- Remove the stems and seeds from 20 dried Kashmiri red chillies and dry roast in a skillet on medium low heat for a couple of minutes till you can smell their aroma. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 500 ml water to a boil and add the chillies.
- Boil for 10 minutes till the chillies have rehydrated.
- Remove chillies and reserve around 80ml (⅓ cup) of the water for blending. Transfer chillies to a blender and add 50 ml (3 tablespoons) of water, blending to a smooth paste. You may need to add a little more water if the consistency is too thick. Scoop out the paste and store in a glass jar.
Notes
- Heat the chillies for a smokey flavour, taking care that they don't overheat and burn.
- Pour the Red Chilli Paste in an airtight container and cover with a thin layer of oil to store in the fridge. It will keep for around 2 months.
- To freeze, pour in an ice-tray and freeze. Then transfer the frozen cubes to a ziploc bag to keep in the freezer for up to 9 months.
