Serve this mouth watering , spicy sauce with snacks like nachos or potato chips ..
One can serve this sauce as a dip with snacks like Cutlets , French Fries , Potato Wedges , Veg Momos , Spring Rolls …

For this recipe , I have used mix of Chilies -Kashmiri Red Chillies (Non Spicy Variety) and Gundu Chilies (Spicy Variety).. This combination gives a perfect appealing colour , flavour and good spicy taste .. According to taste buds and spice tolerance , you can choose the chilies ..

Some important NOTES ::

  • If you find , Chillies too hot to handle , just deseed them then use..

METHOD :

First, we have to soak dried red chilli in hot water for 30 minutes or till they turn soft.
We have to discard the water and blend to smooth paste. One can add some water while grinding, if required. keep aside.

  8. Ruchi, I think that there was a slight misunderstanding of what I said. If I may clarify, I asked only in the sense that I know that some people like the really hot (spicy) foods and some people can only tolerate mild or medium level spicy foods.
