A simple recipe of flavorful chilli oil infused with homegrown crushed dry red chillies and aromatic spices.

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup neutral flavor oil

  • 3-4 garlic cloves, chopped

  • 1 cm ginger chunk, chopped

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 2-inch cinnamon stick

  • 1 tsp black peppercorns

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ cup dry red chillies, crushed

  • ½ Tbsp sesame seeds, roasted

Directions

  • To a saucepan on low-medium heat, add all the ingredients except for red chillies and sesame seeds.
  • Let the oil sizzle for 5-7 minutes and when it’s really hot and starts to bubble, turn off the flame. Be careful not to burn the garlic and spices.
  • Mix red chillies and sesame seeds in a heat-resistant bowl and pour the hot oil over the chilli mix and stir it in. Remove the bay leaves and cinnamon stick and let the oil cool down.
  • Store the chilli oil in a sealed jar in the fridge and enjoy it for several months with noodles, fried rice, roasted potatoes, and other recipes.
