Directions
- Step 1
Soak the peppers in warm water for 30 minutes.
- Step 2
Saute garlic in vegetable oil on low heat till the garlic acquires a golden brown sheen. The purpose of this step is to get rid of the raw taste of garlic. If you are fond of raw garlic, no need for sauteing it.
- Step 3
Place the soaked peppers in a blender. You can use the soaking water in soup or beans. Add the rest of the ingredients in the blender. If you have sauted the garlic, use the leftover oil too.
- Step 4
Now blend fine. Store this sauce in a glass container. It will last for about a week. Serve with noodles, fried rice or any Thai curry.
