Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients:
Start by finely chopping the garlic and Thai red chilis (Birds Eye chilies). These are key to the spicy and aromatic kick of the sauce. -
Blend the Sauce:
Place the chopped garlic, Thai red chilies, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, and salt into a blender. Blend everything together until you have a smooth, slightly textured paste. You can adjust the consistency by adding a little more vinegar if desired. -
Taste and Adjust:
Taste the sauce and adjust the salt and vinegar to suit your flavor preferences. The vinegar adds a tangy depth, while the salt acts as a preservative, keeping the sauce fresh longer. -
Store and Rest:
Transfer the sauce into a clean glass jar and seal tightly. Allow it to rest for a day or two, letting the flavors blend together for a richer, more aromatic experience. -
Refrigerate:
After the resting period, store the sauce in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about a month, giving you a delicious homemade condiment whenever you need it. -
Serve:
Enjoy your Homemade Red Chilli Garlic Sauce as a flavorful dip with Vegetable Bajji (Pakora/Fritters), or use it to spice up your stir-fries, noodles, and even grilled vegetables. Its vibrant flavors will elevate any dish it accompanies!
