1
Prepare the Chilies
Remove stems and seeds from dried red and green chilies. Rinse them under cold water.
2
Soak the Chilies
Place the rinsed chilies in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes until softened.
3
Blend the Mixture
In a blender, combine the softened chilies, garlic, cumin seeds, and salt. Add 1 cup of the soaking water and blend until smooth. Adjust consistency with more water if needed.
4
Cook the Sauce
In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Pour in the blended chili mixture and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Serve
Remove from heat and serve warm. This sauce can be used as a topping or dipping sauce.
