[tscii]This is how I make my own chillie sauce.
Economical, clean and tasty.



HOMEMADE CHILLIE SAUCE

Ingredients:

100 grms of dried red chillies
3 small shallots chopped
1 red tomato chopped
2 pips garlic chopped
1 small piece of ginger chopped

2 tbs oil
Sugar to taste
Salt to taste
Enough vinegar

Method:
Cut the red chillies and soak them for ½ an hour.
Wash nicely , removing seeds as much as you can.

Now in a blender add the red chillie, shallots, tomatoes,
garlic and ginger.
Using some water grind everything to a smooth paste.

In a deep pan add in the oil and the ground chillie paste.
Add ½ cup of water, on a low flame sauté the chillie paste
till the raw smell goes. You can add more water if you feel
the sauce is very thick.

Now add in enough sugar, salt and vinegar.
Stir nicely, let the sugar melt and mix nicely with the chillie.
Taste for salt, sugar and sourness of the vinegar.
Remove cool and bottle when cold.

This sauce goes well with fried meats, chapattis,
pakoras or any thing that needs chillie sauce.

Mushroom using KMP:

Clean & tear 1 pkt sippi kalaan(oyster mushroom) into strips... Add some water & cook till 3/4th done... Add salt,KMP & turmeric pwd & cook till done... make sure u have some water left even after all the cooking... eat it on its own...

This is best done with wild mushrooms tht we find in the farms after rain... next best alternative is oyster mushroom aka sippi kaalan...

kugan,

thanks for ur suggestion, i will try out ur sprial.
want to try after pongal.

mix curd,chilly pwd,garam masala,gin-gar paste,salt... Butter the bread slices... dip it in the batter & imme toast it on a well oiled tava till golden on both sides adding oil as required... take care to cook on low-medium heat...

Selvi, thanks a lot for the wishes...

glad kmp has found a strong place in ur kitchen...:)
