Ingredients
- 1 cup dried chilies
Instructions
- Remove the stems from the dried chilies. Roast them in a frying pan or cast-iron skillet over low heat. Stir continuously to prevent them from burning. For ventilation, it’s a good idea to open your windows or consider doing this step outside. Don’t add oil to the pan; the chilies will release their natural oils, enhancing their aroma. The peppers will darken slightly as they roast.
- Once roasted, take the chilies off the heat and allow them to cool completely. This step is crucial before you move on to grinding them.
- To make Thai dried chili flakes, I like to use a mortar and pestle to pound the roasted chilies. Crush them into a fine powder or leave them in chunkier bits, depending on your preference. If you prefer a quicker method, use a spice grinder. Just pulse the chilies until you reach the desired texture. Remember, the longer you blend or grind, the finer the flakes will be!
