Red Chile Ingredients

Method

Red Chile Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dried Chilies

    Remove the stems and seeds from the dried red chilies. Rinse them under cold water and place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Soak the Chilies

    Cover the chilies with hot water and let them soak for about 15 minutes until they become soft.

  3. 3

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the soaked chilies, garlic cloves, onion, cumin seeds, oregano, salt, and 1 cup of the soaking water. Blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Pour the blended chile sauce into the pan and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the oil separates.

  5. 5

    Adjust Consistency

    If the sauce is too thick, add more water, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. This red chile can be used in various dishes or as a condiment.
