Kebab Shop Chilli Sauce
Description
Kebab Shop Chilli Sauce uses a base of canned chopped tomatoes combined with a finely pounded paste of shallots, garlic cloves, and Bird's eye chillies. Sea salt acts as an abrasive to help create a smooth paste in the mortar and pestle. Adding ketchup and white wine vinegar balances acidity and sweetness, while intensifying the chili flavor. Mixing these elements produces a sauce with a blend of spicy heat and tangy sweetness.
The sauce preserves texture by finely chopping rather than fully blending, which leaves bits of shallot and chili visible, contributing to an appealing mouthfeel. Adjusting salt and adding sugar after tasting allows tailoring sweetness and seasoning. Fresh mint can be added for a bright, herbal contrast.
This chilli sauce pairs well with kebabs, grilled meats, or as a dipping sauce, enhancing flavor with spice and freshness. Wearing gloves while handling Bird's eye chillies prevents irritation, and the sauce can be quickly prepared or blended for a smoother texture depending on preference.
