Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Red chilies (fresh)
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash the red chilies thoroughly and slice them into small pieces. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds.
Peel the garlic cloves and chop them roughly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring it does not burn.
Add the sliced chilies to the saucepan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to blend the flavors.
Add the water, white vinegar, sugar, and salt to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for 7-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Transfer the chili sauce to a blender or use an immersion blender to process it until smooth. For a chunkier texture, you can blend it for a shorter duration.
Taste the sauce and adjust the salt, sugar, or vinegar to your preference.
Pour the chili sauce into a sterilized jar or an airtight container. Let it cool completely before refrigerating.
Serve as a dip, condiment, or marinade. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
